McDonald's has relaunched its popular Monopoly game for 2025, offering Brits the chance to win ahost of top prizesover the coming weeks. As of today (September 10), the special menu is available in all restaurants, featuring old favourites and introducing some new delights, such as the Loaded Caramel McFlurry.
First launched in 2006, this UK-based fast-food challenge operates much like the classic Monopoly board game, providing two main ways to win. The first involves finding 'instant win' stickers on certain food items, which often result in freebies from the chain.
The second, more challenging method requires collecting various stickers, including properties. According to McDonald's, these can be scanned and stored in the McDonald's UK app. If a user completes a full property set, they'll bag one of the Collect to Win prizes, depending on the colour set they've completed.
Interestingly, the fast-food giant has stated that players have a one in four chance of winning an instant prize with the game. Lucky sticker collectors, who must be at least 18 years old to participate,could also win up to £100,000 in cash.
But is there a way to increase your chances? The experts at Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert (MSE) believe so. Here are three key steps they suggest.
If you're not particularly familiar with the cherished board game, distinguishing between 'rare' and 'common' stickers can be tricky. Whilst McDonald's reportedly wouldn't confirm which ones were more difficult to find this year, MSE has compiled a list of previously scarce stickers that could be worth watching out for.
These include the following:
- Strand
- Old Kent
- Euston Road
- Liverpool St. Station
- Conventry Street
- Bond Street
- Mayfair
- Malborough Street
- Northumberland Road
MSE stressed the importance of staying alert when popping into your local McDonald's. Occasionally, customers abandon their finished meals and rubbish on tables, which might contain unpeeled stickers.
Specialists at MSE explained: "You don't need to be Uncle Bulgaria to take advantage of the fact that not everyone who eats or drinks at McDonald's will be taking part in its Monopoly promotion and won't peel their stickers."
However, they added: "It's worth noting that wombling is against some companies' T&Cs. We asked McDonald's for its stance and it didn't get back to us, though we've no reports of issues in previous years."

3. Be tactical with your orderFinally, MSE urged customers to make wise eating choices during the promotional period. Not all menu items will feature a Monopoly sticker.
Their advice continued: "For example, if you fancy chicken, don't order the nuggets as they don't carry a sticker, whereas Chicken Selects do. If you're partial to a Big Mac, only the chicken version has a sticker, not the beef."
The fast food giant said a total of 18 menu items will be stickered during the challenge. These include:
- Medium and Large Cold Cups
- Medium / Large Fries
- 3 / 5 Chicken Selects®
- Philly Cheese Stack
- Chicken Big Mac®
- Large Salad Tray (Chicken Salad / Chicken and Bacon Salad)
- Mozzarella Dippers
- Mozzarella Dippers Sharebox®
- McPlant®
- McSpicy®
- McCrispy®
- Regular and Large McCafé Iced
- Regular-size McFlurry® (including a new Loaded Caramel McFlurry®)
- Chicken Wraps
- Veggie Wraps
- Breakfast Wrap
- Flat White
- Regular or Large McCafé Hot Drinks (including a new Honeycomb Latte)
