Mc Donalds Monopoly! Anyone have Mayfair or Park Lane??

Anyone here have either Mayfair or Park Lane for the Mc Donalds Monopoly game.

I got one of them at the weekend and figured that the chances of me getting the other one are small to get the 500k but someone else may have the counterpart for 250k

I know its a long shot but hey ho.

It turned out to be Park lane

If you got Mayfair. You're in the money. It's the rare one out of the two. Only 1 in the entire of the UK

If it's Park Lane, enjoy the hunt for Mayfair like the rest of us

Wont know for sure till i get home tonight will have to update tomorrow, cant believe i can't remember which one I've got :rolleyes:

My wee brother has everything apart from the hard to get streets/stations for each set. And I won a push scooter with Ribena yesterday

The McDonald's one is really hard to win though.

If it's Mayfair, then just buy park lane from ebay for a few quid, then enjoy the 500k and buy me something nice

Everyone gets Park Lane

jegz · 14 Apr 2008 at 13:36

Unfortunately it seems it was Park lane :mad:

I just walked all the way home from work and back to find out cos i couldnt handle the suspense lol.

Oh well, maybe some other combinations can be made collectively.

What are the difficult ones to get?

Out of Park Lane & Mayfair - Mayfair is ultra rare.
If you've got Park Lane (and I think everyone does) then it's probably never going to win you anything.
If you've got Mayfair then you're in the money - Park Lane is so ultra common that you'll soon get it anyway or you'll just find one in the street (seriously).

I'm pretty sure if someone got Mayfair then they'd just goto McDonalds and keep buying burgers until they got the common Park Lane rather than give someone £250k for it

Why do people have so much trouble understanding how this promotion works?

Do they have the 'you don't have to buy to enter this prize draw'?

I bet Mayfair is in some McDonalds bin.

IIRC they have to for some legal reason.

You know it's true.

Aye I can't remember what the law was, but remember there being a legal obligation. I'd quite like £500k, but damned if I'm going to buy a macdonalds.

Ahhah - it is required so that competition organisers can avoid being seen to be operating an illegal lottery. By stating "no purchase necessary", they absolve themselves of requiring a payed entry to the competition (seen as a premium by the law) - which is illegal without government backing under the Gambling Act 2005.
