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

Correct. Numbers in story is not how probability works. If it's a honest game, they're independent events.
