How many Strand stickers were there in McDonalds Monopoly?
In McDonalds Monopoly in 2022 there were 100 Strand stickers attached to food and drinks packaging. There were also 10 more ‘Property Peel’ stickers that you could win via the app as part of the Double Peel game. That makes a total of 110 home entertainment vouchers that were available to be won.
How rare was Strand in McDonalds Monopoly?
Strand stickers were definitely rare in McDonalds Monopoly. It was the fourth rarest after Mayfair, Bond Street and Coventry Street. There are only 110 Stran stickers, out of millions of pieces in existence.
As a rule, the higher the value of the property on the Monopoly board, the higher the prize value and the rarer the sticker is. The brown McDonalds pieces are the easiest to find, with over 2 million of each, but the prize is much smaller – it’s just an Extra Value meal.

If you have The Strand in McDonalds Monopoly, you’ll probably want to try to find Fleet Street and Trafalgar Square to complete the red set. The other two stickers are very common so you shouldn’t find it all that hard.

However, attempting to buy missing McDonalds Monopoly stickers isn’t a good idea. The rules state that you not allowed to buy or trade game pieces. Not only that, but if your code is shared anywhere online it will become invalid.
You could also have your prize stolen, like one unfortunate customer who posted a picture of her winning game piece to Snapchat.
So please don’t photograph your stickers and share them on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or anywhere else!
