McDonalds Monopoly in New Zealand is back for 2024 – woohoo! It gives you the chance to win your share of a massive prize pool worth $229 million… Or, you could just use it as an excuse to take the family for some of your favourite Maccas treats!
This guide will tell you everything you need to know about the promotion.
McDonalds Monopoly New Zealand dates
The Maccas Monopoly promotion in New Zealand starts on 4th September 2024 and will end on 27th October 2024, although you can only buy products with the tickets until 22nd October 2024.
This is a longer period than some other versions of McDonalds Monopoly run for around the world, giving people in New Zealand more of a chance to win.
Here’s how you play…
If you want to play Maccas Monopoly in New Zealand, the good news is that it’s really easy. All you need to do is buy food from McDonalds either in store or via McDelivery, making sure you pick items on the menu that are involved in the promotion.
The packaging for your food will have game pieces attached to them – peel them off to see what you’ve won. You’ll either get an instant win prize, a property, or a Chance card.
Instant win stickers mean that you’ve won the prize immediately – congratulations! There are millions of these prizes to be won, including a mix of food items, gift vouchers and some pretty awesome physical prizes.
If you get a property token, you’ll want to keep it. You only win the prize for these if you complete the set. You can register the property on the McDonalds Monopoly app, but you still need to retain the ticket to claim your prize. Keep it safe!
Chance cards act as a second chance ticket – scan these into the app and you’ll either win an instant win prize, or a new property.
The food items you’ll need to buy…
Not everything on the McDonalds menu is included in the Maccas Monopoly promotion. Eligible items include medium and large soda fountains, thick shakes and McCafe beverages, medium and large fries, select larger burgers, 10-nugget boxes, McFlurry desserts, and hash browns.
There are a few burgers included too – the Chicken Bacon Deluxe, the Chicken Almighty, any Angus burger, the McSpicy, and the Big Brekkie burger.
Not everything gives you the same number of tickets either. Most of the McDonalds Monopoly food items give you one ticket, but those that give you two include:
- Large drinks (soda fountain, thick shake and McCafe)
- Large fries
- 10-nugget boxes
- McFlurry
It’s a clever tactic to upsell you to buy larger items, but if you want to win, then this is better value than buying two smaller items.
Your prizes for 2024…
There are millions of McDonalds Monopoly prizes up for grabs in 2024. The top prize is an Isuzu D-Max LX SUV. There are literally millions of food prizes to be won as well.
Here’s a look at the full prize list that you could win by collecting property sets:
| Property Set | Prize | Number Available | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brown | Ziggy Elite BBQ Pack | 4 | $1,242.60 |
| Light Blue | Allied Patriot Gaming PC Package | 4 | $3,000 |
| Pink | Philips Hue Smar Lighting Pack | 5 | $853.42 |
| Orange | $10,000 Travel Gift Card | 1 | $10,000 |
| Red | TCL Home Entertainment Package | 2 | $5,698 |
| Yellow | Kawasaki Jet Ski & Trailer | 1 | $30,750 |
| Green | Year of Food Delivery ($50 Per Week) | 2 | $2,600 |
| Navy | Isuzu D-Max LX SUV | 1 | $62,490 |
| Stations | Bosch Ultimate DIY Tool Kit | 2 | $10,696 |
The list of instant win prizes is huge, with hundreds of prizes available with a value of $1,000 or more. You could win high-value travel vouchers, tablets and smartphones, attraction passes and so much more.
There are also thousands of vouchers to be won with a lower value, including free hobby sessions, $10 online shopping cards and more.
What’s unusual about the New Zealand version of the game is that every McDonalds Monopoly retail voucher that you could win is a standalone cash prize.
In most versions of Maccas Monopoly around the world, the vast majority of prizes you can win are discount codes that still need you to spend your own money (so $10 off when you spend $100, for example). Not so with the NZ McDonalds Monopoly game though.
Finally, there are a huge number of food prizes you could win, each of which gives you a choice of items. The prizes are:
- Free McChicken OR Filet-O-Fish
- Free Big Mac OR Quarter Pounder
- Free Bacon & Egg McMuffin OR Sausage & Egg McMuffin
- Free Cheeseburger OR Sausage McMuffin
- Free Small Sundae OR 3-piece McNuggets
- Free Small Fries OR Fruit Bag OR Soft Serve Cone
- Free Small McCafe Coffee OR Small Frozen Drink/Soft Drink
How to redeem prizes
You can redeem McDonalds Monopoly prizes through the app. Download the app from the Google Play or Apple store and register an account (or log-in if you already have one). Then you can either scan your tickets, or enter the unique 12-digit code manually.
For instant win prizes, you’ll be given instructions on how to claim your prize. It can vary, as some will have bespoke websites from the company that provided the prize.
For Collect & Win prizes, once you’ve registered all the properties within a colour set, you’ll have the option to redeem your prize through a form on the app.
For instant win food prizes, you don’t need to register them on the app. You can trade the ticket in-store or in the drive-through for the prize. For mobile orders, you can register the ticket online, which will give you a code to use to claim your free item.
The rare pieces
Not all Monopoly properties are equally available. In each colour set, there is a hard-to-find one. If you get one of these, you are very lucky indeed and should definitely keep playing to complete the set!
The rare McDonalds Monopoly NZ pieces for 2024 are:
- Brown – Old Kent Road
- Blue – Euston Road
- Purple – Whitehall
- Orange – Marlborough Street
- Red – Fleet Street
- Yellow – Piccadilly
- Green – Regent Street
- Navy – Park Lane
- Stations – Fenchurch St Station
Always keep your property tokens safe! You need them to claim a prize, even if you have registered them on the app.
