Rare specimens
The McDonald's Monopoly turned out to be a very gamble for fast food lovers. Everyone wants to put together a complete set of a certain color and sometimes they are ready for this for everything possible and impossible. Of course, some stickers are more common than the rest, so I want to familiarize you with cards in advance, which you will have to run in the literal sense.
So, among the blue collection, you will have to spend a lot of time searching for “Arbat” (M521). In the green set of stickers, it’s quite difficult to get Kutuzovsky Prospekt (M518) and Gogolevsky Boulevard (M519). In the yellow collection of cards, Novinsky Boulevard (M516) became a rare instance. In the red collection from the participants most often “Pushkinskaya street” (M513) is hiding. In the orange set of stickers you will have to spend a sufficient amount of time searching for "Ryazan Avenue" (M511). In the purple collection, he constantly hides from the participants of the Sretenka (M507). In the action "Monopoly at McDonald's" it is quite difficult to find in the blue collection of cards "Street Ogareva" (M503). And finally, in the brown set of stickers it’s hard to find Zhitnaya Street (M502).
Gambling
During the campaign "Monopoly at McDonald's" there is some kind of craziness around everyone's favorite fast food. And so the famous chain of fast food restaurants is popular among people, and these days something special and inexplicable happens.
The points of this fast food are filled to capacity, even worse than usual. The products presented in the action are bought up at lightning speed that the cooks do not have time to place orders. The revenue during the campaign is huge. It is also worth emphasizing the point that this game involves extremely large volumes of drinks, large portions of potatoes, as well as quite expensive burgers and rolls.
The consumer does not focus on this, as he seeks to find the coveted sticker, and the restaurant chain itself receives a lot of money on the excitement of its own customers. Is it right and fair? It is up to you to judge.
Sticker Exchange
"McDonald's 2017 Monopoly" captures many fast food lovers. People tend to visit this restaurant as much as possible and purchase products participating in the action in order to bring the prize as close as possible, and maybe, if luck smiles, and try their luck in getting a super prize.
In addition to a regular visit, which is one of the most correct ways to participate, people come up with some trick, namely, to organize the exchange of treasured rare cards.
At the start of this game, a similar exchange took place between friends and acquaintances. But as soon as the action began to gain popularity, the participants came up with another way to get the coveted cards. At the moment, in a social network such as Vkontakte there are many groups where people are engaged in the described activities. The exchange takes place in several ways: as a sticker on a sticker, some simply ask or give away for free.
But some participants turned the action into a business - they sell stickers. The minimum amount of such cooperation may cost 100 rubles. Also, similar offers for sale or purchase can be found on the sites Avito, "Yula". There are already slightly higher prices, namely 300 rubles.
Is it realistic to win at McDonald's Monopoly?
To begin with, this action in fact can be considered a win-win, because in any case you get at least even the smallest win. This game presents a fairly large list of prizes, starting with McDonald's products and ending with 1,000,000 rubles from Visa. Of course, the probability of winning a large gift is quite small, since there are very few stickers for such a prize. There cannot be any specific instruction, but only everything is designed for good luck. As a rule, most often people collect two cards of the same color, and the third is quite problematic to find. This is the little trap from the action "Monopoly at McDonald's."
If you still answer the question posed above, then you can answer this way: to really win the minimum prizes (restaurant products), but to get more valuable gifts, only luck will help you.
Are there any winners?
If we talk about the winners of the "Monopoly at McDonald's", then everyone wins here because a fairly wide list of prizes is presented. As mentioned earlier, the smallest prize is the products of a fast food restaurant. But there were also lucky ones who went beyond the minimum gifts.
There are people who won the iPad and other prizes that were prepared by the sponsor-store of household appliances "Eldorado". There were even such cases when a visitor got a card with a win in the form of a car. But, unfortunately, due to a sufficiently large tax, the prize was never able to meet with its owner. We will talk about the negative sides of this ongoing campaign jointly by McDonalds and Monopoly below.
Participant reviews
There are many opinions on the Internet, both positive and negative. It is difficult to say what reviews about the "Monopoly at McDonald's" more, because there are a lot of them and they are very different.
Let's start with the good features that were highlighted by the participants in the game. Visitors to McDonald's note that this promotion is in fact a win-win, that even with a minimal win you will leave unambiguously. The list of fast food products includes everyone’s favorite burgers, drinks and more. Many people say that this action plunges them into the world of childhood, when every child with his family or friends played Monopoly.
As for negative reviews, they are also present in a small number. Basically, people do not like the fact that initially the rules of the game provide that the third treasured card is very difficult to find or, in principle, can not be obtained. And this means that super prizes like a monetary reward or an apartment in a house under construction cannot be received.
