You needed to collect all three orange stickers in McDonalds Monopoly UK in 2023 if you want to win a £500 Home Entertainment voucher for AO.com.
Bow Street (M508) and Vine Street (M510) were pretty easy to get, but getting hold of Marlborough Street (M509) was a little trickier, as there were fewer of them available.
But how hard to get was Marlborough Street in McDonalds Monopoly in 2023? Read on to find out..

How Many Marlborough Street Stickers Are There in McDonalds Monopoly?
In McDonalds Monopoly in 2023 there were 200 Marlborough Street stickers attached to food and drinks packaging. There were also five more ‘Property Peel’ stickers that you can win via the app as part of the Double Peel game. That makes a total of 205 vouchers that were available to be won.
How Rare is Marlborough Street in McDonalds Monopoly?
Marlborough Street is pretty rare in McDonalds Monopoly. With only 205 stickers available in 2023, it was the fifth rarest after Mayfair, Bond Street, Coventry Street and Strand.
As a rule, the higher the value of the property on the Monopoly board, the higher the prize value. The brown McDonalds Monopoly set is the easiest to complete, with over 2 million of each sticker, but the prize is much smaller – it’s just an Extra Value meal.
If you get a Marlborough Street McDonalds Monopoly sticker, keep it safe and get working on finding the others!
What Happens if You Get Marlborough Street in McDonalds Monopoly?
If you have Marlborough Street in McDonalds Monopoly, you’ll probably want to try to find Bow Street and Vine Street to complete the set. The other two stickers are very common so you shouldn’t find it all that hard.
In fact, I managed to find these two stickers in my first two McDonalds meals of the promotion!
The cheapest way to complete the set is to hang around McDonalds picking up people’s old tokens – this is known as wombling. It’s legal, but it is kind of frowned upon. The easiest way is simply to buy more food.
Check out this list of McDonalds Monopoly menu items – I’ve listed them by price so you can see the cheapest items to buy with stickers. Within a few days, you would have a really high chance of finding the missing sticker that you need to win an AO.com voucher.
Can You Buy or Sell McDonalds Monopoly Stickers?
You may see people who are desperate for a Marlbough St sticker to complete the set taking to social media to beg for or buy the missing piece needed to win the prize.
Some are really desperate to win themselves that voucher. The others would sell the prize right away and use the cash.
Do people not band together with their McDonalds Monopoly card things?

Bc I have two of the oranges and if anyone has Marlborough Street let’s get a portable games console together, sell it and split the cash
Whatever your reason for wanting to win, you really shouldn’t buy or trade McDonalds Monopoly stickers. The rules state that not only are you not allowed to buy or trade gamepieces, but that if your code is shared anywhere online it will become invalid.
Someone did try to sell a whole reel of unpeeled stickers on Gumtree, but the ad was taken down pretty quickly.
To claim a prize, you have to hand in your paper ticket and also say which branch of McDonalds you got it from.
You should also avoid posting pictures of your winning orange stickers to social media. People have had their prizes stolen from doing this before!
A McDonald’s spokesperson advises: “It’s great to see people taking part in Monopoly at McDonald’s and celebrating their wins on social media. We would advise that customers claim their prize before they share their game piece code online.”
How to Win a Nintendo Switch in McDonalds Monopoly
Unfortunately, there were no Nintendo Switch consoles to be won in McDonalds Monopoly in 2023. The prize for collecting the orange properties in 2022 was a Switch console.
However, in 2023 you could use the £500 Home Entertainment voucher for AO.com to buy a Nintendo Switch – along with a few games, too!
Whenever you find McDonalds Monopoly stickers you should enter them into the McDonalds app. This year, you could do a Double Peel, which basically means you could get extra digital stickers inside the app. It’s important that you do this as it gives you a much bigger chance to win.
