![]() ![]() I logged on everyday until one day, 2 weeks later, I was listed as "Confirmed." It finally felt real and I remember yelling and dancing around the house!Ī week later, I got the actual check. ![]() I was given a link to a website, and sure enough my name was listed as "Pending". I ate my now cold meal and left the restaurant that night still not knowing how legit any of this was. My hands were shaking as I tore open the envelope and opened the letter.$100k! Darn! But yet awesome. They were giving away 5 million-dollar prizes and 50 $100k ones. I then had to open an envelop that said whether I won $100k or $1 million. They kept using the word "potential" so I was still skeptical, but thats because they had to do a background check to verify no immediate family worked for McDonald's or had prior knowledge of this giveaway. They read some more official stuff and I had to sign a few things. They had predetermined that the first person to walk in the door at that time on that date was the instant winner, and that person was me! Turns out this random McDonald's in fairly rural America had been chosen as one of the 52 sites for the giveaway. I thought it was just a joke, some kind of candid camera thing, but we agreed to sit down with them. One had a camcorder, the other 2 had clipboards, and they started reading a script to me, saying I was the potential winner of the McDonald's instant winner game and to come sit down and talk to them. I turned around and 3 official-looking McDonald's employees were there. As I was waiting in line to order, someone tapped me on my shoulder. I was there with my family, and I was the first one out of the vehicle and into the store. In 2001, I won $100,000 from McDonald's during their Instant Winner sweepstakes.

You may accumulate many tickets between now and May 5, 2020. The odds listed below are for individual tickets. Anecdotal reports on social media indicate that most people who’ve won anything were awarded prizes of $3 or less in value, or a $5 discount that required a $50 or more purchase. We’ve done one data set for “Collect and Win” game board play for game piece collectors, and another set of odds for the “rare game pieces” where you win the whole prize instantly with one lucky ticket. The odds of winning all the other prizes in the Safeway Monopoly game are listed online and we’ve also compiled them below. But one of our commenters won the $1,500 TV in 2017 as you can see in the Comments below! Only two people have ever won the $1 million, one in 2017 (Dorchester, MA) and another in 2018 (Idaho Falls, ID). Your odds of winning the million dollar prize in this game are 1 in 552 million for each ticket. ODDS OF WINNING ANYTHING AT ALBERTSON’S/SAFEWAY MONOPOLY And this is why your chances of winning anything at this Monopoly game are so low. There are 2,200 grocery stores nationwide handing out hundreds of millions of Monopoly game pieces. Furthermore, it is not “Safeway Monopoly” - it’s technically called Shop, Play, Win and the cards were also being handed out all across the country at Albertsons, Vons, Jewel-Osco and a shit-ton of regional grocery chains you’ve never heard of. The Safeway Monopoly promotion goes from March 3 to May 4, 2021, and you can still claim winnings until May 27, 2021. So we put the Broke-Ass I-Team on the case to determine whether the Safeway Monopoly game ever produces any winning tickets, and what the odds are of even winning anything. But does anyone ever win so much as a 99-cent box of macaroni & cheese playing Safeway Monopoly? I’ve seen a lot of card-collecting and not much winning in the years that this highly complicated grocery store game of chance has been annually rebooted. These Safeway Monopoly cards are the Glengarry leads. 1292 Shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter ![]()
