Why dont more people do this? Post what pieces you have, get together, and split the winnings? Great idea!

YOu do not HAVE to eat at McDonald's to play - either. You can send off for the pieces.
I saw that people were selling the free food wins on eBay and trading them on sites like Listia.

That was the point of the thread... for the larger prizes, there are millions of game pieces printed but only a handful of ones that are needed to match for a win

Two years ago, I ended up with a lot of McDonald's Monopoly tokens(or whatever they're called). Back then, you could also play electronically by entering the unique code on each token which would allow you to roll electronic dice and move your man around the electronic board. By the time that Monopoly game ended, I had something like 78 tokens. The only way to win cash on the electronic version, was to land on all properties of the same type or color. What happened to me was that I very quickly was just one property shy of every single set/color. I then kept going around and around the board and continued to miss all of the properties I needed to win anything. For the last 45 dice rolls I actually kept track of what I needed to win on each roll and what I actually rolled and the odds of missing a winning result. I then calculated the odds of not making at least one winning roll and the result if I remember correctly was some ridiculously huge number like one chance in 200 million. I don't know if McDonalds is still offering an electronic version and if so, whether it's now a fair game but I'm absolutely convinced that two years ago, the electronic version was rigged to prevent people from winning. Has anyone on ATS won any money from the electronic version(if there is one)?
