Monopoly at Macca’s is back—and one prize could wipe out your rent or mortgage

McDonald's Monopoly made a grand return this week—bringing with it a prize many Aussies only dream about.

With rents and mortgages climbing higher each year, one reward stood out from the rest.

For some, it could mean the difference between financial stress and a sigh of relief.


The fast food giant relaunched its Monopoly at Macca's game on 3 September, revealing a total prize pool worth $718 million.

Among the free burgers, gift cards and cars, one prize captured the nation’s attention—free rent or mortgage repayments for a year.

The offer gave one lucky winner the chance to receive $52,000 towards their housing costs.

McDonald's highlighted that this year’s prize line-up was designed to reflect what Australians were facing in the cost-of-living crisis. With household budgets stretched thin and repayments soaring, the rent or mortgage prize resonated deeply.

But the housing prize wasn’t the only big-ticket drawcard.

Players also had the chance to score a year’s worth of Uber Rides and Uber Eats valued at $25,000, three brand new Isuzu cars worth more than $80,000 each, and six Tempur King mattresses valued at $25,000 each.

Other rewards included ten $5000 David Jones vouchers, eight $5000 Webjet gift cards, and three year-long Macca’s supply prizes valued at $20 per week for 52 weeks.

There was also $60,000 in Visa gift cards and countless instant win items, from Big Macs to fries.


According to McDonald's, there was a one-in-three chance of winning across the 49 million prizes on offer.

The game was available exclusively on the MyMacca’s app and ran from 3 September to 14 October.

Eligible menu items included Medium or Large Fries, Hash Browns, 10 or 20-piece Chicken McNuggets and the new Big Arch burger.

Players received their Monopoly tickets directly within the app when ordering through dine-in, drive-thru, or McDelivery.


McDonald’s promotions and special offers often spark as much conversation as they do excitement, with Monopoly at Macca’s being just one example.

Beyond prizes and discounts, the brand has also leaned into quirky, unexpected products that capture plenty of attention.

One standout story involved a playful twist on the classic Macca’s bag that turned it into something completely different.

I very rarely buy McDonald's but every now and then hubby and I will go for breakfast, usually after an early morning bunnings run.
Yes I definitely would play it, in years gone by we have won on McDonald's monopoly game
 
I really hope this is a paid advert. Given the history of the Monopoly game at Maccas it certainly isn't something I'd be promoting for free. As far as I know Maccas don't provide any discounts to seniors so unsure why SDC is promoting it.
 
useless to people who have no use for mobile phones. Hundreds of people live in areas where mobile phones are not and internet DON'T WORK

Dana how can the unscramble word be fettuccine when it has two cases in the clue? Big boobook i think.
 
:sick:🤑 Now promoting obesity in a location near you. I only get a coffee from them once every blue moon.
They make a obscene profit and only give what amounts to pocket money to them to Ronald McDonald house and that is supposed to make me buy their crap? Same with KFC having the audacity to ask if I want to donate to some charity and what is the bet they take 'admin fees' for themselves. BTW, I am supporting the Guide Dogs association directly.

Dear member OXHOG54, thankyou for your post. I believe upon presenting your seniors card at McDonald's, you are antitled to one free coffee/tea/hot chocolate/soft drink with every burger or McMuffin purchase. Have a beautiful day. 🙏🦋

Same as Big W asking for donations at the checkout, preying on people's embarrassment, probably using it as a tax write off.

I'm positively sure that seniors get a discount on "Toasties". We've had them previously on a number of occasions, i.e., if they haven't changed their policy.

With this new game, it looks as though I may have to revisit them. I didn't mind their coffee where I thought it was pretty reasonable for taste.
