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.
