Lad bought 25 large fries to test what he could win in McDonald's Monopoly

The McDonald's jackpot prizes are pretty hard to come by

Over the years, McDonald's Monopoly has become somewhat of a stalwart of British culture.

The annual promotion offers customers the chance to win a whole range of prizes from a free cheeseburger to a whopping £100k in cold hard cash.

But, while instant prizes - often items from the Maccies menu - come thick and fast, the illusive Monopoly properties leading to a jackpot prize are a lot harder to get your hands on.

With the competition returning to UK restaurants today (4 September), it begs the question, what does it actually take to win big? One lad decided to test it for himself.

Last year, Josh Ryan - who started a McDonald's Monopoly series on TikTok - splashed out nearly £65 on 25 portions of large fries in return for 50 Monopoly stickers.

In a video uploaded to the platform, he wrote: "Buying 25 large fries to see how much I can win! Can't believe how much I won!!"

Josh was off to a pretty decent start when he peeled off a 40 percent discount code for Skull Candy headphones from the first portion of fries.

His second prize also came from his second portion, winning a 'personalised photo magnet'.

And the third sticker was yet another prize, with a 10 percent discount code for AO.com.

But, it was the small instant prizes that were most frequent among Josh's haul with the content creator bagging multiple free McFlurry's or fruit bags, six McNuggets, a bacon roll and a hot drink of his choice.

Sadly, the coveted £100k just wasn't meant to be, but the TikToker wasn't too disappointed.

"Fries is where it's at," he insisted.


Yet, his plight for McDonald's Monopoly glory wasn't over just yet.

In another video, Josh teamed up with a fellow TikToker to see what could be won by spending even more money at the fast food restaurant.

The caption read: "This is part three of spending money on McDonalds Monopoly to see what we win and today I spent £75, money's going up."

His co-host joked: "Now, we should win £100k no?"

But his luck was arguably even worse on his second attempt, with the pair only bagging two McFlurry or fruit bags (again), one apple pie or fruit bag and one small fries or veggie bag, although why you'd ever pick veggies over fries is beyond me.

The iconic game officially returned to the UK today (4 September) and is set to run until 15 October.
