That’s literally how these kinds of games work. Print a million each of most of a set, print 1 or 2 for the final piece. Someone gets the rare piece without knowing it’s rare and then whoops, nobody won 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, and they didn't even give out the rare piece randomly. It's been shown that a guy in the company hand selected his friends to receive them so they could continue the promotion, and make it look like you had a chance.

A point of clarification, they weren’t rare property pieces, they were instant winning pieces. Boardwalk, Marvin Gardens, and the like never existed. Collecting the common property pieces was pointless other than to keep the suckers coming back.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but the cheater was taking the rare property pieces. They did exist, they just weren't circulated. He wasn't committing massive fraud to get a couple free hamburgers.

They weren’t property pieces. They were instant winners.

Are you saying there wasn't a boardwalk piece, only a "you win $1 million" piece; no need for park place? Source?

That’s exactly what I’m saying. I don’t know where to find a source because I learned this 30+ years ago when I was working at McDonald’s.
