To claim free food in the McDonald's Monopoly game, players need to find Instant Win prize stickers on qualifying McDonald's food or drink items. These stickers indicate what free food or drink can be claimed. The process is as follows:
- Purchase a qualifying menu item from McDonald's during the promotional period (e.g., items like McPlant, McCrispy, Chicken Big Mac, Medium fries and drinks, etc.).
- Peel off the Monopoly sticker from the item packaging.
- If the sticker reveals an Instant Win prize (like a free burger, fries, or drink), take the sticker to the McDonald's counter.
- Present the sticker to the cashier to claim the free food or drink item before the prize's expiry date.
There are millions of Instant Win prizes available, including free food items such as chicken nuggets, hash browns, apple pies, burgers, fries, and drinks. Some prizes like McDonald's Gold Cards offer more ongoing rewards. For bigger prizes, players can collect a full set of Monopoly property pieces by collecting stickers from multiple qualifying items. Additionally, many claim processes and prize redemptions can be done via the McDonald's app, where players can also track their Monopoly game progress. The promotion typically runs within specific dates, so players must claim prizes before the deadline specified by McDonald's (e.g., for 2025, the claim deadline is November 4th).
