McDonald’s Monopoly 2025: Rare Game Pieces, Secret Winning Tips, and the Biggest Prizes Uncovered

Fans are dusting off their parker pieces: the McDonald’s Monopoly promotion is back for 2025, and this year’s version is bigger, more digital and running in both the UK and the United States. A Tale of Two Launches • United States – After an eight-year hiatus, U.S. restaurants will peel again from 6 October to 2 November 2025, with prize claims open until 23 November. A second-chance Bonus Play lives exclusively inside the McDonald’s app, giving every physical or digital ticket another shot at instant wins and the $1 million cash grand prize. • United Kingdom & Ireland – The long-running UK edition began on 10 September and ends on 21 October 2025, with a “1-in-4 chance” of winning printed on promotional packaging. Prize-claim windows stay open until 4 November. What’s New in 2025 • Double Peel, Digital Feel – Order through the McDonald’s app in either market and qualifying menu items automatically drop a digital Game Piece into your account alongside the classic on-pack sticker. • Expanded Menu – More than 30 eligible items in the U.S. (from Egg McMuffin to Large Fries) and the full UK favourites roster mean extra opportunities to land those rare Dark Blues. • Mobile Bonus Games – Every scanned piece unlocks a tap-to-win mini-game inside the app for freebies, points and exclusive experiences. Prize Highlights • Collect-to-Win sets include 1 million American Airlines miles, a $50,000 MONOPOLY GO! themed vacation and $10,000 Lowe’s shopping sprees in the U.S.; the UK offers VIP holidays, electric cars and £100,000 cash. • Instant wins range from free menu staples (Big Mac, Snack Wrap, McFlurry) to tech bundles and family days out. • The headline jackpot remains life-changing: $1 million in the States or £100,000 in the UK for the lucky collectors of the rarest properties. How to Play (and Maximise Your Odds) 1. Download or open the McDonald’s app and opt-in to MyMcDonald’s Rewards. 2. Pre-register (U.S. only) for 500 free reward points. 3. Order any promotional item in-restaurant, drive-thru, kiosk or mobile. 4. Peel the physical sticker and scan the QR code, or tap “Peel” on your digital piece. 5. Bank property codes, trade with friends, and don’t forget the daily Bonus Play for extra entries. Tips from Serial Winners • Target high-value items such as Large Fries or 20-piece McNuggets; they carry two stickers in many regions. • Play early—rare pieces are allocated randomly but are finite. • Save duplicates; they become valuable trading chips for the final missing property. • Always scan even “food only” wins; many unlock surprise reward-point drops inside the app. Key Dates to Remember • UK: Final peel 21 Oct, claim deadline 4 Nov. • US: Final peel 2 Nov, claim deadline 23 Nov, Bonus Play ends 2 Nov. Why the Buzz Matters McDonald’s Monopoly consistently spikes footfall, app downloads and social chatter. With Hasbro celebrating Monopoly’s 90th anniversary this year and McDonald’s leaning into app-first engagement, analysts expect the 2025 promotion to outpace 2024’s “Power Peel” in both order volume and digital loyalty sign-ups. Whether you’re chasing Park Place stateside or Mayfair across the pond, the gameboard is set—so grab a Large Fries, scan every code and may the rare pieces land in your lap.
