No Purchase Necessary to Play

There is no purchase necessary to play McDonald’s MONOPOLY Game. However, the process to get a game piece has changed for 2026. You must now send a request via snail mail to obtain a FREE game piece.

You can receive one Game Piece (which also earns one bonus Chance Card Game play) when you mail in a request in a postage-paid (not metered) outer envelope with a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) inside. That means each request will require two first-class postage stamps — one for the outer envelope and one for the SASE.

Mail each request to the following address:

2026 Monopoly Game at McDonald’s
P.O. Box 4006
Dept. S9851
Grand Rapids, MN 55730-4006

Your Request must be mailed no sooner than Sept. 22, 2026, and must be received no later than Nov. 2, 2026.

Within the outer envelope there must be a SASE with your complete mailing address and sufficient return postage (first-class stamp; not metered). Vermont residents may omit return postage. Limit one request per outer envelope.

One game piece will be mailed to each request that complies with these requirements, while supplies last.
