McDonald's Monopoly is back, and this year the prizes got wilder.
The game launched Sept. 29 and runs until Nov. 2 in restaurants and Nov. 23 in the app. Total prizes are worth over $400 million — far beyond the usual burgers and fries.
The headline-grabber is a custom-made miniature Gold Quarter Pounder made with a quarter pound of 10-carat gold, worth $20,000. But the real flex is "McDonald's for life" — two free weekly visits for 25 years.
You'll also find trips to Puerto Rico, Kennedy Space Center's Visitor Complex, and Universal Orlando Resort. There's a 2026 Nissan Kicks on offer, plus shopping sprees at Michaels and Ardene. Smaller prizes include cash and rewards points.
You don't need to buy anything to play — you need a mobile device and registration for both the McDonald's app and the Monopoly Game. But game pieces come with menu purchases: Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, McCrispy sandwiches, McChickens, 10-piece Chicken McNuggets (20-piece earns two pieces), large fries, eligible breakfast items like Egg McMuffins and Hash Browns, and drinks. Not all items qualify.
The game is open only to Canadian residents.
