Over the years we’ve played a number of collect the pieces from McDonald’s but never won a prize other the a food voucher. That’s OK because in the end it’s just a promotion and some lucky people end up winning and that’s their good fortune. It’s pretty obvious the rare pieces are only printed the number of times for the prize but the other pieces could be printed tens, if not hundreds of thousands of times. It doesn’t take long to collect two pieces of the same type and that’s a good indication they aren’t the rare pieces.
So here’s the pieces we’ve collected more than once.
Mayfair
Angel Islington
Because Mayfair is one two, that means Park Lane is the rare piece.
If you’ve got multiple pieces of the one piece feel free to let others know. In the end it almost certainly won’t affect your chances of winning, but at least you’ll know if you’ve got the rare piece or just one of the many.

UNITED STATES 2013 MONOPOLY UPDATE
I noticed McDonald's Monopoly2013 has started in the United States. The following are the rare pieces.
(20) Mediterranean Avenue
(15) Vermont Avenue
(3) Virginia Avenue
(1) Tennessee Avenue
(40) Kentucky Avenue
(2) Ventnor Avenue
(15) Pennsylvania Avenue

There is information which indicates Boardwalk is on a Big Mac.
Good luck.

DeleteMelissa. I didn't publish you address or other individuals comments along the same line. I'm concerned for people's safety and it may be possible this would open up a legal exposure. I don't have the resources to check if that is the case.
DeleteKelvin
where are you situated on the globe? because we have some of the rare pieces from the list you have writen down. we can even take picture and show you
DeleteHi Angelo,
DeleteIf you read later in the comments you'll see I'm located in Australia. Our McDonalds Monopoly recently finished. I suspect you're in the UK where McDonalds Monopoly Fusion 2013 recently started. In the comments below you'll see the rare pieces for the UK from what I can determine on the internet.
Hope that helps clear up the confusion.
Kelvin
Hi,
DeleteI have loads of Monopoly Tickets for the UK Game, but need single tickets to claim prizes. Is there anyone out there that would like to Collaborate to try and win some things?
yeah sure im only wanting vine street but willing to swap what i have for vine street
DeleteLeicester Square
ReplyDeleteWe have duplicates of Leicester Square so it isn't a rare piece.
DeleteThank you.
Kelvin
thanks for writing all of this for us kelvin , quite useful
Deletejust local im just wondering if liverpool station is rare if not can you plz give me the code for one of yours
Deletemuch appreciated.
Hi Yasar,
DeleteYes Liverpool Station is rare for the UK competition. We recently finished the Monopoly competition here in Australia but the tickets we have can't be used in the UK and the rare pieces are different.
Kelvin
Muti's of
ReplyDeleteVine Street
Old Kent Road
Leicester Square
Myfair
You might of won with Multi's of Old Kent Road, or I won because I have White Chapel Road
DeleteInteresting and quite humorous. We have two White Chapel Road pieces. Based on what I've seen and researched, Old Kent Road is a rare piece. Always possible the person has a couple of chances to win the PS3 pack. Since it is anonymous it could be a furphy, but if it isn't, congrats to them.
DeleteKelvin
have you got liverpool station>?
DeleteI have

DeleteKelvin
i have Park Lane & seen 100 of Park Lane being sold on ebay so mayfair is the big one
DeleteThank you for leaving a comment. Further down in the comments you'll see a list of rare tickets for the UK McDonald's Monopoly game.

by the way kelvin, do you know that you can ask for a free promotional ones at the outlets? they look like a card, with one black sticker to peel on top , completely free, doesn't have to buy anything, maybe just find a nice attendant, some will give you for free ^^ i love freebies
DeleteThank you for your comments. I didn't know. Might ask next time.
DeleteKelvin
anonim. I have park lane,
DeleteI have bow street. And I never win shit...so I'm guessing Marlborough is the rare one
ReplyDeleteWe have Bow and Vine so yes, Marlborough is the rare one. Hope you have better luck than usual.
DeleteKelvin
I have multiple Marlborough and vine but no Bow :/
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're getting close.
DeleteIf you're thinking of swapping be mindful of the conditions.
5. Can I transfer my Game Ticket?
No. Unfortunately a Game Ticket cannot be transferred by you, to any other person, whether by gift, sale or otherwise. A Ticket that has been transferred is invalid and therefore, a prize claim that includes any Ticket that has been so transferred is invalid.
Thanks Lyndal for letting me know. It is great to hear someone getting close.
Kelvin
i just want to swap the instant prizes, like frappe for burgers ^^ , or coffee for burgers, i don't drink coffees , i think this is possible, haha, well, just for fun, thanks
DeleteI have:
ReplyDelete- Pall Mall

Thank you.
DeleteKelvin
how can i get the touch whit you about swap the stickers?
DeleteHi,
DeleteI suspect you're looking for stickers for the UK monopoly competition. The stickers here were for the Australian Maccas monopoly competition.
Kelvin
Do you need to keep your receipt; because, I put mine with my rubbish in the McDonald's bin?
ReplyDeleteThe site states you need your ticket, but mentions nothing that I could see about your receipt. Personally I wouldn't think so. If they ask me if I want the receipt it is usually say thank you, but no need.
DeleteKelvin
I have duplicates of pretty much all of the common pieces now. These are the pieces that I think are the rare ones:
ReplyDeleteWhitehall (Pink, AUS102 - Dreamworld Pack).
Regent Street (Green, AUS207 - Californian Holiday).
Piccadilly (Yellow, AUS306 - LG Home Ent Pack).
Fleet Street (Red, AUS404 - $5000 Cash).
Marlborough (Orange, AUS506 - Valeska Jewellery).
Old Kent Road (Brown, AUS601 - PS3 Pack).
Euston Road (Light Blue, AUS704 - Event Cinema Pack).
Park Lane (Blue, AUS809 - Kia Rio Car).
Fenchurch Station (Train, AUS902 - $100 Petrol).
I also did a bit of research online to confirm that these are the tricky pieces to get. Good luck all :)
Thank you. Those confirm the list which I collated above so it's good to have a confirmation.
DeleteKelvin
Sorry, I didn't see that. Thank you for making a list for us. It is handy to know what to look for.
DeleteBtw I notice on Gumtree that there are people who are selling monopoly tickets, and a few of them are trying to pass off common pieces as rare pieces. Just letting you guys know to be careful if you do purchase monopoly tickets, and to also do some research beforehand.
All good. The confirmation and effort was appreciated. Thanks also for the heads up about those on Gumtree.
DeleteKelvin
When claiming the instant prizes I was in drive-through and asked if you could claim more than one and the answer was no. You can only claim one per order even though the order was for three people. Makes sense because ultimately the game is a marketing exercise for Maccas and prizes means repeat business and possibly another order.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly I asked if I had to buy anything and the answer was no. So I said it would be OK to drive back around and place another order just for the prize the answer was yes. I just walked inside and picked up the additional free item.
In the terms and conditions it reads:
21.Subject to Condition, an Entrant may, during the Promotional Period, claim the Instant Win Food Prize stated on their Winning Instant Win Food Ticket by handing over their Winning Instant Win Food Ticket to a crew member at a McDonald's Restaurant at the time of placing or purchasing an order at the McDonald's Restaurant ("Order").
This would read that you can place an order (nothing about buying anything) or purchase an order, so that confirms my experience.
In the end however I've found it best to err on the side of conservatism because some ,rightly or wrongly, may interpret the rules differently and it isn't worth the energy.
Hope others are having fun with their instant wins.
Kelvin.
Few instant wins,
ReplyDeleteBut every maccass I jump on here to confirm I just have common pieces :(
Thanks for the site and keeping it updated
Hope you enjoyed the instant wins;-)
DeleteThanks for dropping by.
Kelvin
Ooooohhhhhhh Kelvin!
ReplyDeleteRonald will not be happy with you!!!
I on the other hand am very thankful I don't have to go through the wallet emptying exercise of working out which are the rare pieces!
Kelvin mate... You are providing an invaluable service!
I'm Lovin It!!!
Thanks for the chuckle. Glad to help.
DeleteKelvin
Be watchful, there are some good instant wins out there 'non food items ranging from the useless (coke unleashed tokens) to the awesome. Yes, someone, somewhere will instant win a car!
DeleteMay'un'fair.
ReplyDeleteI have a Park Lane but cant get Mayfair.
I have plenty of mayfairs. The terms and conditionds dnt say anything about putting tickets together and splittin it. In this case would be selling the car lol I also have about 40 other tickets... please help
Deletewe have many park lanes about 5 of them and we have plenty others rares for us is bond street and mayfair and liverpool street
DeleteI'd be very careful with this. Maccas isn't silly. Legal advice would probably be required. Maccas have done this a few times and I'm sure they've covered themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe above comment was posted anonymously so I have no way of knowing if it was legitimate or someone just having a bit of fun. If it is legitimate then a big congrats. Looks like you may be ordering a rather scary amount of take-away food in the near future;-)
Kelvin
Has anyone actually got a set?
ReplyDeleteCertainly not our family:-) Quite a few small instant prizes. Changes of winning a big prize I suspect would be quite small.
DeleteReading the terms and conditions it states "a maximum of 96,702,979 Tickets". That means to win a car (there are two unique tickets) just to get those tickets is around one in 50 million. About the same as winning first prize in Saturday Tattslotto.
There are 400 collect-to-win prizes (collect a set of tickets) which means the chances of winning based on a set is around one in 250,000. There is a total of 19,342,221 prizes which is why there is roughly a one in five chance of winning a prize. A few million of those prizes, to me at least, have dubious value. A prize where you have to purchase something to get something to me isn't a prize, it is a discount offer.
However a prize is a prize and if you receive a prize by participating and not spending any more than you normally would, then you've got something for nothing and that's not a bad outcome. If you upsize to get more tickets however, you may just find you may have ended up paying more than the prize is worth.
Kelvin
I think there is only 1 car, so if u really have the park lane, then pretty much there are no more out there.
ReplyDeleteOne one car is a collect-to-win and the other car is an instant win. I think you're right about the Park Lane but I don't know how the instant win would appear.
DeleteKelvin
I will have heart disease.
ReplyDeleteI have park lane
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Will pay for it, let me know how to get it.
DeleteThe Park Lane referred to above would have been for Australia. It isn't the same as for the UK.
DeleteKelvin
RARE PIECES AND THEIR OCCURRENCES:
ReplyDeleteOld Kent Road (30)
Euston Road (5)
Whitehall (2)
Marlborough Street (1)
Fleet Street (2)
Picadilly (2)
Regent Street (2)
Park Lane (1)
I'm unsure with the rest. Good luck!
Thank you for taking the time to collate that information. It gives a good overview of the number of prizes for each series of collect-to-win tickets.
DeleteKelvin
Thank you everyone for your comments on this post. It has been great to have people participate.
ReplyDeleteKelvin
I won cokeunleashed tokens. What are they?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I've been told it depends on the number of points you get, supposedly collecting multiple tokens, but really don't know.
DeleteIf you follow through claiming as suggested in the terms and conditions you'll get to find out.
https://maccasplay.com.au/monopolyau/page.do?page=terms.html
Kelvin
I have Park Lane, do you have Mayfair?
ReplyDeleteYes. We have multiple Mayfairs.
DeletePark Lane is not at all rare. I went into Mcdonalds yesterday with a couple of friends and between us, we had 2 Park Lanes. Where are the Mayfairs at?!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird. McDonald's is unlikely to run a competition where they could potentially give away multiple cars. If everyone who says they have a Park Lane does, and we have around four Mayfair tokens. That's potentially four cars when there's only one car to be won via collect the tickets.
DeleteKelvin
They have to print multiple winning combinations as they have to take into account the people who eat then bin the rubbish as they're not bothered about a competition if they only printed park lane once then it could end up at the dump very easily.
ReplyDeleteAnother possibility is McDonalds UK Monopoly started on March 20th and Park Lane could be common. My logs show an increase in people coming from the UK. If this is the case and you're from the UK, add UK to your comment and we can work out the rare pieces for the UK.
DeleteKelvin
For our friends in the UK the following appears to be the rare McDonalds Monopoly Fortunes 2013 pieces.
DeleteOld Kent Road
Euston Road
Whitehall
Vine Street
Strand
Coventry Street
Bond Street
Mayfair
Liverpool St Station
Good luck.

Wanna hear a depressing story...? You know that Park Lane stamp you have been talking about.... well I have the Mayfair & did have the other but REPEAT DID... now its somewhere in Airlie beach QLD or on its way to Daydream island.... I lost it while at the beach.... Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I am very serious about this and its REALLY doing my head in. So much so I would prefer to hear that there are multiple Park Lanes!!! Does anyone know the actual truth re multi or one only or have I stuffed it for everyone. Mike
ReplyDeleteThat is gut wrenching. Sorry to hear about your loss Mike. Your post may just have improved tourism in Airlie Beach. Again sorry to hear.
DeleteBased on my logs I'm fairly confident those multiple Park Lanes were from people in the UK. McDonalds really in my opinion wouldn't risk having multiple people claim the one prize, so logically only one Park Lane for Australia. IMHO.
Kelvin
Hummmmm..... not good news then, its gone, my punishment was searching the beach aimlessly & having to deal with the what if's.... like why the hell did I not put it somewhere safe??? Believe me I feel like the worlds biggest idiot. I'm even thinking of ringing Macca's to find if the loss really is that dramatic! Mike
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I actually sent an email to the Whitsunday Times only this morning with my tale of woe with the idea to share the car if anyone found it. I wish I could simply say "Oh well"
ReplyDeletePerhaps you may wish to place a lost-and-found ad in Gumtree. I believe it is free and you could put it in as Airlie Beach. Even offer a reward. Perhaps with the article to the Whitsunday Times offer a reward which might help get the article published.
DeleteAlso keep in mind the terms and conditions. A ticket can't be transferred so someone finding the ticket may find it hard to claim the prize (since they aren't the one who carefully removed the ticket from the packaging) if you let McDonalds know, but that means a reward is very valuable and a good incentive for people to help you find it.
I doubt if you'll ever find the ticket, but perhaps those thoughts might help.
Kelvin
i have double pall mall anyone want to swap
ReplyDeletefor the other piece to dream world - i have got northtumberland avenue & 2 pall mall
Hi Iozza.
DeleteSadly I don't think you'll have much luck. The pieces you have are common and there are only two of the rare pieces you need.
Kelvin
Gt a few park lane doubles if any wants to swap for mayfair or bond street reply
ReplyDeleteMarlborough Street good or not? UK
ReplyDeleteNot a rare ticket in the UK. It was a rare ticket in Australia.
DeleteKelvin
If anyone is selling a mayfair i can pay for it by paypal ???
ReplyDeleteHi Joshua,
DeleteThis blog post was originally written for Australian's. The Mayfair from here is different than UK Monopoly.
The blog gets a lot of traffic now from the UK so I thought I'd publish the post.
Kelvin
Above I published the rare tickets for Mcdonald's UK Monopoly. For those interested the following is what I believe would be the number of each rare ticket.
ReplyDeleteOld Kent Road - 50,000
Euston Road - 1,250
Whitehall - 800
Vine Street - 150
Strand - 200
Coventry Street - 50
Bond Street - 15
Mayfair - 8
Liverpool St Station - 500

For example I added an email address and mobile number to the About information. That way if people wish to contact me they can check my profile. You could do the same.
Please be careful when contacting strangers. There appears to be quite a few scammers on the internet with the Mcdonald's competition.

So there you have it some places around the world can get free cards but not the mainland UK.
