- McDonald's kicked off its annual Monopoly sweepstakes this week, so of course we are thrilled to devour the stats.
Lottery probabilities are a ton of fun, and Monopoly statistics are even more interesting, so a Monopoly-themed lottery may as well be Christmas for stat geeks.
Here's how it works. Every time you purchase certain items at McDonald's over the next couple weeks — any one of 26 different menu items — you'll get to peel off a game piece comprised of two stamps.
These game stamps can correspond to either an instant prize, or they can correlate to a space on the Monopoly board. For spaces on the Monopoly board, if you get all the properties of a single color — or the Railroads — you win a prize.
So, let's take a look at your odds of winning prizes by buying McDonald's. See stats [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |
