McDonald's Is Bringing Back Its 'Monopoly' Game — with a Nostalgic Surprise
The promotion now runs entirely through the McDonald’s app and includes cars, cruises and a $50,000-a-year grand prize paid over 20 years.
- On Tuesday, McDonald's announced its Monopoly promotion returns nationwide on October 6, offering a $1 million grand prize to boost customer engagement during this limited-time event.
- "This year, we're going all in on the classic peel," the company said, as gameplay now runs entirely through the McDonald's app where fans collect digital pieces to redeem instant-win food or loyalty points.
- The $1 million grand prize pays as a $50,000-per-year annuity over 20 years, not a lump sum, while the expanded prize pool includes a 2027 Jeep Cherokee and a $1,040 gift card.
- McDonald's stock trades near a two-year low, down 16% year to date, as analysts view the promotion as a strategy to address traffic challenges pressuring the company.
- Customers can pre-register between September 29 and October 5 for 500 bonus MyMcDonald's Rewards points, with eligible items including the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets.
