I don't really eat the shit. I got my pieces from when a group and I went down the Haines City, the 20 or so of us got some food there and I collected most of the everyone's games pieces.

It'd suck if you inadvertently traded one of the super rare pieces.

i heard that McDonald's purposely distributes some pieces almost exclusively to the West coast and others to the East coast
so that the rare ones in CA would be common in GA and vice versa

I've never heard of someone ever being able to trade for a winning game piece. And the game has been going on annually for what, 8-10 years?
It's just not going to happen.

How exactly do you know which pieces are high dollar and which are not?
I was under the impression if you needed 3 peices, say the red lot and the prize is like say 15 grand or something, that 2 of the 3 are so common you can get them with just a few items usually, where as the 3rd rare piece would only have like 4 out of the entire US, etc.
i.e. getting the rare piece would mean you just get the other 2 common ones for the prize instead of trying to auction it off.

I assume it's just like the board game.
pieces like boardwalk and utilities are worth more than like atlantic avenue.
I think they have a "game board" as the tray covers so you can see what you need to win the big money prizes

And I'm sure most of the "rare" pieces just get thrown away anyway. That way, MCD doesn't have to pay out.

So if I had boardwalk and you had park place, you'd send me park place and make me a millionaire? I doubt a McD's trade off would work

this is from Wiki:
Quote:
St. Jude's Children's Hospital
In 1995, St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee received an anonymous letter postmarked Dallas, Texas, containing a $1 million winning game piece. Although game rules prohibited the transfer of prizes, McDonald's waived the rule and has made the annual $50,000 installments.[4]

See but that's cool. If that dude/chic was me though, I'd have bought breakfast for the entire Children's hospital so they'd all have a chance at getting the other [easy] half of the winning piece...

Okay, you're a 7 year old with Cancer, Lupus, and Alzheimer's, and you're telling me you wouldn't wanna come off your Morphine drip for a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit meal + a million dollars for your hospital?
