Breaking: McDonald's Monopoly Is BACK!!!

TODAY- A nostalgic fast-food promotion finally got its Get Out of Jail Free card. On Sept. 29, McDonald’s announced its Monopoly game is returning to the U.S. after a 10-year hiatus. Starting Oct. 6 for a limited time, customers across the country can rediscover the “thrill of the peel” with new digital game pieces in addition to the classic ones.

Customers will order their favorite item from the Monopoly at McDonald’s menu, then peel and play — this time, using the chain’s app to collect property pieces and redeem prizes. This go-round, fans can win vacations, a Winnebago motorhome, a Lowe’s shopping spree for the renovation of their dreams and much more. Each game piece also earns participants a bonus play for a second chance to win in the app with the opportunity to win anything from free food to a $1 million cash prize.

Just when you thought humanity was completely fucked, McDonald's redeems the entire species by simply bringing back a fast food prize game.

I know, I know. The original Monopoly game was more a bigger fraud than the 2025 Mets, which McMillions did a great job breaking down in the 6 part documentary.

However, this is the thing about McDonald's Monopoly. I don't play it because I think I am going to win a million dollars, a motorhome, or anything cool. I play it because I love being a part of a game created by two titans of America along with the fact peeling the pieces scratches a primally satisfying itch I can't quite comprehend.

I can't even get upset about the old paper Monopoly board getting tossed aside for a digital one because I would always lose my board back in the day and remain horrified I had lost one that had a hard to find piece on it (this was never, ever the case). So I am all in on these two legends teaming back up, even if I don't have a chance to become a millionaire. Ahhhh who am I kidding, I will still be praying to see a Boardwalk every single time I peel off a sticker on my fries because that's what the American dream is all about.

P.S. Obligatory shout out to myself for once winning a game of Monopoly by being the only person in the game with a monopoly, which was Baltic and Mediterranean. A legendary moment that is still talked about til this day

Talked about by literally just me talking whenever I blog about Monopoly
