Listen up brochachos:

I need Monopoly pieces. Willing to split winnings here. WATCHU GOT

I got nothin'

There is always one of every set that is impossibly rare to find, while the others are common. If someone found boardwalk, they could find park place by just buying less than $100 of fries, thus keeping the full million.

I forgot my cup in my buddies car. luckily for me he rarely cleans it so I might have a chance to get it again on Tuesday when we have our meeting.

For the record, here are the ones you WONT find:

Mediterranean Avenue ($50 prize, 2000 available, one in 1,057,000)
Short Line Railroad ($500 prize, 750 available, one in 21,956,000)
Vermont Avenue ($1,000 prize, 125 available, one in 64,603,000)
Virginia Avenue ($2,000 prize, 75 available, one in 34,165,000)
Tennessee Avenue ($5,000 prize, 10 available, one in 256,235,000)
Kentucky Avenue ($10,000 prize, 6 available, one in 427,058,000)
Ventnor Avenue ($25,000 prize, 8 available, one in 320,293,000)
Pennsylvania Avenue ($50,000 prize, 4 available, one in 640,586,000)
Boardwalk ($1 million dollar prize, 1 available, one in 542,034,000)

If you find any of these, (except the $50 one) I'd farm McD's until you get the other two, as you should be able to fill out the missing peices fairly quickly.

My sister said they send different pieces to different states. Asking in the forum was probably a good idea.

Legally they are not allowed to do any 'creative' distribution of the game pieces.

All they do is print a fixed number of pieces, and very few of the 'matching' pieces and spread them around evenly.

So there is probably exactly ONE boardwalk piece, and it's as likely to fall into the hands of someone who doesn't care as it is someone who does.

They can't logically do that, because then people like us would band together and take advantage of the system. If mediterranean were rare here, and baltic were rare elsewhere, both sides could acquire a pile of them and send half to the other, making hundreds of dollars.

All I know is that is what she said. She works at A mcdonalds so who knows what she actually knows.

Well, what's legal and what McDonald's does hasn't always been the same thing.

Though I do doubt that they'd distribute pieces in a way that makes it at all easier to win.

Good luck, Boardwalk is only printed once for the entire contest.

Nope it's random, they have bottlenecking pieces that essentially spell out the odds of winning. See above your post.

Yup, if you find Boardwalk, chances are you'll get Park Place about 30 burgers and a triple bypass later.

Nope, Adam's 100% correct. There's like 1 boardwalk piece in the entirety of the U.S.A.

I nearly shit a brick the other day when I bought some McD's. For some reason I thought Pacific Ave was the higher up token than Pennsylvania Ave. Essentially, for a minute, I thought I'd won 50k.

I've gotten about 4 park place pieces so far in the last couple weeks. It's not that hard to get.

I bit into a double quarterpounder for the first time in like 4 months, yesterday. Oh glory of glories did that taste good. I would gladly eat 20 in a row to get Park Place after finding the Boardwalk. (and then use the money for a new liver and heart).
