Default McDonald\'s Monopoly Pieces

Anyone know which pieces are rarest by any chance? I'm one off for the Viper, the Buena Vista acting experience, and the $1mill.

Fluff is right.

If you look on the Monopoly board/sheet (I think on the back), you'll see the number of winners there will be for each prize (for example: one winner for the million bucks). Well, how do they control the number of winners for each prize? If you need five game pieces to win the million bucks (let's call them a, b, c, d, & e). McDonald's gives out a few billion a's, b's, c's, & d's and gives out only one e game piece. How else could they possibly control the number of winners? So like Fluff pointed out, EVERYBODY needs the same game piece for completion.

I've heard your best chances of getting the main missing piece for each of the better prizes is to send away for a free game piece to the address McDonalds provides (send in multiple requests). This makes a lot of sense since so many pieces are tossed out by those who aren't interested in collecting them. Somebody who sends away for a game piece is obviously interested in the game. McDonalds wants somebody to win, especially the biggest prize, so they can advertise that winner's name (and possibly their face) as proof that "YOU TOO" can win.

Yeah, I knew a girl whos dad owned several McDonald's so she'd just steal sleaves of cups.

But uh, her dad owned the freakin mcdonalds anyways so its not like she couldn't get free food or have him pay for anything she wanted.

HAHA, former manager here, still have friends, so I just show up late, grab like 50 large fry boxes, and laugh to BB. On one note it is annoying to use these things.

Guys, clearly it is apparent to the OP that there is one rare game piece for each major prize, and that he is very unlikely to have it. We all know that it is statistically highly likely that the pieces he is missing include the rare pieces.

However, he wants to know if he has already gotten lucky. If you tell him that Ventnor is the hard piece to find, and he has it, then he already hit the jackpot, so to speak. And he'll go back and buy a bunch of large fries until he gets the common piece he is still missing.

So, if anybody knows where there is a list of the rare pieces, speak up. If nobody knows, then fine, let the thread die.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

The rare one (except for the million, broadway is the rare one) is the last one alphabetically for each set.
