re: Yall remember when McDonalds did Monopoly?

To become a millionaire, you must collect both Park Place and Boardwalk. The odds of finding Park Place are 1 in 11. But, the odds of acquiring Boardwalk are around 1 in 651 million. So, your chances of getting them both are about 1 in 3.5 billion.

That's some shady statistics.

It's saying that you eat McDonald's only one time and you either get both or get 0.

In actuality you collect those stamps over a month or 2. If you eat McD's a few times over that period you're gonna easily get Boardwalk after 3 or 4 meals since there were multiple stickers per meal.

Still unachievable odds here but as a kid that game was fun and made you want to go back for more. Genious marketing strategy

Was it only boardwalk that was rare? I can recall getting Park Place on two occasions.
