Odds of Winning McDonald’s Singapore Monopoly 2009 = Buying 4D or ToTo
If you have visited any McDonald’s lately, I am pretty sure you would have noticed it’s latest joint promotion with Hasbro: The McDonald’s Sinagpore Monopoly Game 2009.
To the casual observer, the McDonald’s Singapore Monopoly appears to be a fantastic game! Opportunities to win some pretty attractive prizes for the price of a meal when you have your breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The prizes include:
- $50,000 cash (x 1 winner)
- 7D Hawaii Flycruise for 4 pax on Pride of America worth $24,000 (x 1 winner)
- 100,000 Esso Smiles Points worth up to $4,000 each (x 15 winners)
- Samsung 40″ LCD TV by Courts (x 5 winners)
- HP HDX18 Premium Notebook by Courts (x 5 winners)
- 2N Malacca/KL Cruise for 4 on Superstar Virgo worth $2,360 (x 15 winners)
- $400 Jetstar Travel Voucher (x 20 winners)
- $200 ToysRUs Gift Voucher (x 100 winners)
- 32GB Touchscreen MP3 Player worth $420 each (x 50 winners)
To play, all you need to do is to purchase a McDonald’s value meal to get 2 promotional labels which contains 2 game pieces (or upsize to get 4 promotional labels with 8 game pieces). The label will reveal either an instant win prize or a Monopoly property game piece. Players will need to collect and paste sets of Monopoly property game pieces onto the Monopoly Game Board downloadable here. The game pieces are named based on Singapore’s street names such as Orchard Road and Ang Mo Kio and the very rare Sentosa Cove and Marina Bay.
According to PaiKia’s analysis of the possibilities of winning McDonald’s Monopoly, the chances of winning are close to that of buying 4D or ToTo, forms of lottery games in Singapore:
“There are 8,670,000 games labels have been printed for the Monopoly game. For Instant Win, there are 1,536,490 McDonald’s meal labels and 631,000 for Partners labels. So after deducting the Instant Win, we will leave only total of 8,670,000 – 1,536,490 – 631,000 = 6,502,510 collect-to-win game labels.
This might sound like you have a great chances to win, almost 3 out of 4 is the collect-to-win label. The basic assumption is only they have evenly printed out collect-to-win labels. The tricky part is I also don’t believe they have printed out evenly.
If I were McDonald, I will only release the key winning labels at the last few weeks of the games. And the key labels will be so rare such that people will just keep buying more and more Extra Value Meal! That time my sales must sky high. Damn, it is like TOTO, too bad I never strike TOTO before; else I’m definitely going to be addicted to it.
The truth is from my blog searching, plenty people got one or two of the collect-to-win labels and commonly they miss the rare label to claim your prizes. Since there are 212 collect-to-win prizes, so I bet there will be slightly more than 212 rare labels among 6,502,510, just in case some prizes are not claimed. The chance of you getting the collect-to-win prizes is 1 in 30,672.
I guess this mean the odd is lower than TOTO but higher than 4D. But I don’t think the aunties really know what possibility is, so they will still carry on crazily buying McDonald’s EVM as dinner for their family. hehe.”

so far i have 2 instant wins. one of small fries and the other for an apple pie.
my colleague and i have each bought a EVM on our first go at this game and we were lucky to have the 50K game piece each (he has marina while i have the sentosa).
well, i consider ourselves blessed to have this at first go and we ended up sticking it on one piece of the game board instead.
so i hope the 50K comes to us!!! hahaha.
