Rare McDonalds Monopoly Pieces (UK)

When you get McDonalds Monopoly pieces with your food, the first thing you should check is whether they’re rare or common.

With the ‘Collect to Win’ Monopoly game, you need a full set of the same coloured stickers to win a prize. Most of the pieces are common and easy to find, but in each colour set, there is always one rare, hard-to-get McDonalds Monopoly piece that holds the key to completing the set.

Rare McDonalds Monopoly pieces are incredibly valuable because if you have one of these then you’ll find it much easier to complete a set and win a big prize.

(Note, there’s also an Australian version of this guide here).

The Rare Pieces

The rarest McDonalds Monopoly piece is Mayfair. Every year there are only 4 of those available, so if you find one then all you need is the relatively common Park Lane to claim the £100,000 prize.

Other rare stickers to look out for include Bond Street, Coventry Street, Strand and Liverpool Street Station.

The rare McDonalds Monopoly stickers stay the same every year. All that changes are the prizes and the number of prizes that are available. The most expensive properties on the Monopoly board always have the highest value prizes.

This table lists all of the rare McDonalds Monopoly pieces to look out for:

Piece	Colour	Prize in 2024	Number Available
Mayfair	Dark Blue	£100,000	5
Bond Street	Green	MINI Electric Car	21
Coventry Street	Yellow	Holiday worth £2k	80
Strand	Red	Merlin Annual Pass	235
Marlborough Street	Orange	JBL audio bundle	205
Liverpool Street Station	Station	£200 credit for TrainPal	2,010
Euston Road	Light Blue	£100 Virgin Experience Day	5,650
Northumberland Avenue	Pink	Hisense TV & soundbar	600
Old Kent Road	Brown	Medium Extra Value Meal	2,050,000

The most valuable piece therefore is…

The most valuable McDonalds Monopoly piece is Mayfair. There are only four Mayfair tokens printed and one more available in the app, so if you find one you should hold onto it. Once you’ve found the common Park Lane token to go with it, you’ll be able to claim the top £100,000 prize.

If you do happen to find the Mayfair token, then it’s worth buying up lots of McDonalds until you get a Park Lane. It shouldn’t take too long. I suggest donating the food to the homeless so as not to waste it.

You’ve found a rare piece – now what?

If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a hard-to-find McDonalds Monopoly piece, your next step is to find the other stickers you need to complete the set.

If your rare sticker is Brown or Dark Blue, you’ll only need to find one other property. For the other colours, you’ll need to find two more stickers in the same colour set. And if you have the rare station, you’ll need to find three more stations for a full set.

However, it only counts when the promotion is running from 4th September to 15th October. All prized must be claimed by 29th October 2024.

If you find a rare Mayfair token in November that someone has left lying around, you’re out of luck! And you can’t keep it for the following year, because the sticker codes change each year.

Here’s how to get more stickers…

1. Buy more food

When buying food with the purpose of completing your McDonalds Monopoly sets, you’ll want to think about how many game pieces you get with each food item.

If you want the lowest price per sticker, then go for a medium fizzy drink or McFlurry as these cost around £1.59 to £1.69 each and come with two stickers.

Mozzarella dippers are a handy side to add at just £2.79. No need to buy the more expensive sharebox, as you get 2 stickers with a regular portion.

Another trick is to swap your fries for a fruit or veg bag as these come with stickers only when ordered as part of a meal, and then buy your fries separately for an extra £1.59.

Check out this list of McDonalds items with stickers to see which items have the most stickers for the lowest cost.

2. Ask friends and family

If you have a rare McDonalds Monopoly piece, then it’s worth asking your family to save up any stickers that they happen to collect. You could even post a message on social media requesting that people look out for the token that you need.

Of course, you might have to offer to split the prize with them. And you might not want to do that if the prize is something like a hot tub or a holiday!

3. Wombling

Wombling means using other people’s rubbish to get free stuff for yourself. Lots of people don’t check for McDonalds Monopoly stickers, and even if they do, they often only want the Instant Win stickers.

So by looking around McDonalds restaurants for leftover stickers or hanging around by the bins, you can rack up a large sticker collection quite quickly for free.

Wombling isn’t illegal, but it is frowned upon by some McDonalds staff members, so be discrete to avoid any confrontation.

4. Facebook groups

There are several Facebook groups dedicated to swapping McDonalds Monopoly tickets. The largest one is this one but lots of different groups have been set up so it’s worth searching these for anyone who has the tokens you need so that you can try to make a deal with them.

Be aware though, the McDonalds Monopoly rules state that they reserve the right to disqualify anyone who sells or gives away game pieces. So if you go down that route, don’t get caught.

5. eBay

You’re unlikely to find any rare McDonalds Monopoly stickers on eBay, but if you already have the rare piece then you may find that you’re able to buy the remaining pieces that you need quite cheaply.

One thing to be aware of with eBay is that some of the McDonalds Monopoly stickers are fakes, or from previous years. And again, buying game pieces is against the rules, so there’s a chance you may be disqualified.

6. Gumtree

Again – you should avoid it – but Gumtree is another option. Someone did try selling 400 unpeeled stickers on Gumtree in the UK in 2023 – the listing didn’t last long, I don’t know if it was bought or taken down, likely the latter!

Collect to Win Vs Instant Win

The rare McDonalds Monopoly pieces hold the key to winning the best prizes. But even without them, you can still win a decent prize.

You don’t always need to collect a full set of tokens, as some tokens are ‘Instant Win’. This means that all you need is a single winning piece. Most often, the Instant Win prizes will be food like small fries or ice creams, but you can also win online prizes like cash or electronics.

As well as that, your Digital Peel stickers may give you a chance to enter an online prize draw. Two prizes are given away every minute, so for the best chance of winning, enter your code in the night. After all, far fewer people will be entering codes at 4 am on a weekday than at lunchtime at the weekend.

The rare McDonalds Monopoly Pieces in each colour

Dark Blue

The rare Dark Blue McDonalds Monopoly piece is Mayfair. Park Lane is easy to find, but you’ll need both Mayfair and Park lane to claim the top £100,000 prize. There are only four printed Mayfairs and one online game piece in the app.

Green

The rare Green McDonalds Monopoly piece is Bond Street. There are only around 21 of these available – 20 printed stickers and one in the app. The other Green pieces – Oxford Street and Regent Street – are relatively common and easy to find but you need all three to win a car.

Yellow

The rare Yellow McDonalds Monopoly piece is Coventry Street. 75 of these were printed in 2024 and there are another 5 in the app.

The other Yellow stickers – Piccadilly and Leicester Square are relatively easy to find but you’ll need all three to win a holiday.

Red

The rare Red McDonalds Monopoly piece is Strand as only 150 of these were printed in 2023 with another 10 in the app. 2024’s numbers haven’t yet been revealed. If you find Strand then be sure to look out for Fleet Street and Trafalgar Square to win a Merlin Annual Pass.

Red McDonalds Monopoly pieces in the app

Orange

The rare Orange McDonalds Monopoly piece is Marlborough Street. Only 200 of these were printed in 2023 with another 5 available to find in the app.

The other Oranges – Bow Street and Vine Street – are printed in their millions but you need all three to win a JBL audio bundle.

Pink

The rare Pink McDonalds Monopoly piece is Northumberland Avenue. Only 500 of these were printed in 2024, so be sure to hang on to this one as the other Pinks – Pall Mall and Whitehall – if you want to win a TV and soundbar. There are also 100 to find in the McDonalds app.

Light Blue

The rare Light Blue McDonalds Monopoly piece is Euston Road. Only 5,500 of these were printed in 2024, compared to millions of the other Light Blues – Pentonville Road and The Angel Islington.

There are also 150 Euston Roads to find in the app. Complete the set in 2024 and you could win a £100 Virgin Experience Day.

Brown

The rare Brown McDonalds Monopoly piece is Old Kent Road. If you get one of these then keep hold of it because the other Brown sticker, Whitechapel Road, is very common with over 2 million of them printed. Find them both and you can claim a free Extra Value Meal.

Stations

The rare McDonalds Monopoly train station is Liverpool Street Station. While Kings Cross, Marylebone and Fenchurch Street stations are all easy to find, there are only 2000 printed Liverpool Street Station stickers plus 10 more in the app. Get all four in 2024 to win £200 of train credit with TrainPal.

The bottom line

McDonalds Monopoly is such a fun game to play and it’s easy to get addicted once your sticker collection starts building up, especially if you’ve managed to snag any of the rare tickets!

Even if you don’t happen to get one of the rare Monopoly pieces this time, be sure to keep hold of the ones that you do have, as you never know when a super rare sticker might pop up on your next McDonalds meal!
