Monopoly at McDonald’s is finally back after a five-year hiatus. Participation is simple. You just have to order an Extra Value Meal, collect the colourful game pieces that come with them, and see if you can win any of the 4 million prizes available from now till 28 December 2016.

But while everyone is obsessed with lining up the rare property game pieces, many are unaware of the Chance Cards game piece which can be equally lucrative as well.

Surprise, surprise. You can register the Chance cards at mcdwin.com to take part in a weekly lucky draw. It may win you a NETS Flashpay card preloaded with $500.

And even if you don’t win in the weekly draw, don’t worry.  Any prizes that are not won or unclaimed will be snowballed into a Final Prize Draw. There might be a Citroen C4 Cactus, or $40,000 in cash in there.

Currently, the Monopoly at McDonald's Chance cards don’t look like the ones we are used to seeing with the board game, but here’s how we imagine localised Chance Cards would look like.

Maybe Hasbro can consider them for their next edition of their board game.

1. No bonus

Bosses have tons of reasons why they will withhold that bonus you have. Economy doing poorly, company trying to cut costs, not meeting KPIs etc. But that won’t be a problem – if you pick up that Monopoly at McDonald’s prize of $40,000 in cold hard cash.

2. Petrol prices go up again

Singapore is legendary for her gravity-defying petrol prices. They can still rise even when oil prices worldwide have reached an all-time low. Good thing is, you might be able to win some SPC vouchers from Monopoly at McDonald’s.

3. Strike 4D starter prize

Toto or 4D first prize? You where got so heng one? We’ve played for decades but have never touched the first prize. Starter prize? That’s more like it.

4. School crush wants to meet for dinner

Eh, you’re not as handsome as you think you are, okay? Read more about this phenomenon.

5. Significant Other gives you a back rub

Love isn’t buying about someone a $12,000 diamond ring – that’s capitalism. Love is expressed through tiny, mundane acts that we all-too-often forget, thanks to dramas featuring wealthy and extravagant protagonists. If your significant other is willing to sit down and rub your shoulders after you’ve had a long hard day at work – we say he/she’s a keeper.

6. You win Monopoly at McDonald’s top prize of a car

Everyone’s always complaining COE high. But when a free car comes along, they lose their minds. Classic Singaporeans. (Okay la, at least free car can sell.)

7. In-laws come for a visit

The good thing about staying close to your parents in a HDB: Proximity Housing Grant of $20,000.

The bad thing about staying close to your parents: They can come over anytime to annoy you/comment on your furniture/randomly throw/pack away things that you need. Order McDelivery and distract them with some Extra Value Meals.

8. You make an unexpected discovery

You discovered an incredibly rare trilobite beetle, long thought to have been extinct! You take a video, and it goes viral. You get your 15 minutes of fame on social media. Collect $500.

9. Pass through ERP gantry

What’s worse than passing through an ERP gantry? Passing through an ERP gantry without a cash card in your I.U.

10. Promotion but no increment

These words are too real:

“We want to test out how suitable you are for this new role before making a decision.”

“We have plans to develop you as part of the company’s next generation of leaders.”
