MCDONALD’S has revealed that lucky fast food fans could win £100,000 in cash and an Ibiza holiday in this year’s Monopoly game.
The fast food chain’s game started today – and prizes include a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub and £1,000 to spend on home entertainment gadgets.
Monopoly will run for six weeks, with a £500 Missguided shopping spree also up for grabs.
McDonald’s previously revealed that 1,000 lucky winners will get a VIP card to claim a free meal every week for a whole year.
There are also thousands of ‘instant win’ items too, including when purchasing breakfasts like a hash brown, sausage, and egg McMuffin.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MCDONALD’S MONOPOLY 2021 INCLUDING WHEN IT STARTS
While the annual competition was cancelled in 2020 because of coronavirus, the food fan fave has now returned.
McDonald’s Monopoly is starting today (Wednesday August 25).
It will last for six weeks before the game ends.
Normally it occurs around spring time and in 2020 the promotion was due to start shortly before it closed all 1,350 branches on March 23 because of the coronavirus crisis.

PEOPLE FRUSTRATED OVER ITV COVERAGE OF THE MILKSHAKE SHORTAGE
While covering the story, ITV spoke to people in Scotland about how the shortage was impacting them.
However, people have taken to Twitter to say that this situation is quite over the top.
One wrote: “Please…please…tell me this is a spoof news report? I am aware that McDonalds have some milkshake issues but for the love of God surely STV didn’t run a news report on it?”
Another said: “I don’t get what the big deal is. Most of them never seem to have ice cream machines that actually work anyway.”

EXPLAINED: WHY IS THERE A MILKSHAKE SHORTAGE?
The lack of milkshakes in stores has been caused by a combination of the changes in immigration rules with Brexit, a shortage of lorry drivers, and Covid-19 restrictions.
This has resulted in supplies getting held up at the UK border and is therefore impacting stores nationwide.

HOW TO PLAY
McDonald’s Monopoly works in a similar way to the classic boardgame.
Customers collect game pieces when they buy qualifying McDonald’s products, such as colour co-ordinated road names or train stations.
You’ll be able to find them as stickers which will appear on the packaging of your food.
Each piece represents a tile on the board which you can pick up for free in the restaurant or play along online.
When you collect a set, you get a prize, and there are also “instant wins” which allow you to claim your winnings immediately.
-
COVID CHAOS
The game was due to return in March 2021 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The cancellation means that more than 200million Monopoly game pieces had already been printed and dated.
That means customers will have to check the dates on McDonald’s website to make sure they don’t miss out on a chance to bag a prize.
In total, the game has been delayed for two years due to restaurant closures during the pandemic.
