I THINK IT IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!!!... if I didn't understand the game rules wrongly. Hey folks, go read the FAQ and TNC and tell me if that's how you understand it to be too ok?
Because if IT IS, WE HAVE STRENGTH IN NUMBERS!!!
If I get a Sentosa Cove game card and you have a Marina Bay game card, then we should hook up and fly to McDonalds immediately to go claim the $50,000 prize! We split half half! Each person $25k also not bad what right? :)
See the game board here!

Ok. But I have neither the Sentosa Cove or Marina Bay game cards and I am actually more interested in the 7D Hawaii Flycruise for 4! Damn I need to get my hands on some green property!
Now I only have Bishan, Raffles Place and Queenstown. Give a shoutout if you want to join forces!!!
There are other instant prizes to be won too! And I won a Starcruise 3rd and 4th pax travel free prize! Don't know if I will really go for it or if that's really that good a deal or if if it is really that valuable because there're 100,000 of this particular instant prize. But the fact is I won! And I'm feeling lucky today! =)
Damn, does this mean I'll be eating McDonald's for every single meal from now till I win my Hawaii Flycruise? Siao liao! hahah
Judging by the response of people around me at Macs just now, I must say this is a pretty successful contest! The folks on my left, my right, in front and behind me were all looking at the game board, peeling off stickers to see what properties they have got and talking about it!
Prizes are attractive and we have participation and excitement (Peeling off the stickers to see what property you've got is so exciting!). There is a certain amount of luck involve which adds to the fun suspense and the best part is, we can actually do something to up our chances to clinch the prizes... like join forces! So exciting!
Mai tu liao! Go eat Macs now... and tomorrow... for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the day after and after and after..... Hahah!
Kudos to MacDonalds for a well thought out contest that is fun for us and makes tons of economical sense for themselves! I bet they are going to sell mountains and mountains of Extra Value Meal over the next few weeks!
Have fun and good luck folks!
Clarification...
Wrong wrong.. This is not a first come first serve contest!!!
There will only be
- 1x Sentosa Cove key game piece out there and then one lucky fellow who gets it will win the $50k.
- 1x Orchard Road piece for the Flycruise prize
- 15x Scotts Road for the 100k Esso Smile Points
- 5x Shenton Way for the Samsung LCD tv
- 15x Tanjong Rhu for the Superstar Virgo cruise
- 20x Thomson Road for Jetstar voucher
- 100x Toa Payoh for the ToysRUs voucher
- 50x Joo Chiat for the MP3 Player which I am quite surprised that so many people wants!
As for the rest of the game cards on the board, they are super common and apparently very easy to get. I think just eat 10 Extra Value Meal + Upsize and you should be able to get your hands on all of the common cards.
That means if anybody gets any key game pieces, that will make them a prize winner already and a very lucky one at that because the chances of winning is really very very slim! So no one who won will really sell/trade/exchange/give you their key cards if they manage to get one.
There are effectively only 207 big prizes to be won and have you seen the queue at McDonald's after the promo started??? Gosh!...
The chance of winning any of the 207 prize is as good as striking 4D. Tough! You've got to be damn freaking lucky to win man! And with luck, well we all know we can't order, bribe, plead or demand luck to be with us. So eat in moderation! Haha. If you are the choosen lucky one, even if you eat only
one extra value meal throughout the whole period, if Sentosa Cove or Joo Chiat is meant to be yours, it will be yours. Yes no? =)
