Want Fries With That, Muskego? It'll Cost You Monopoly Money

Muskego's McDonald's restaurant is one of more than 120 metro Milwaukee that are kicking off the latest version the popular Monopoly game with a unique deal: You can bring in Monopoly money today to pay for a larger order of fries.

The promotion runs 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Tuesday only, and could be unique to the Southeastern Wisconsin region. In addition to the free fries, you also receive two peel-tab game pieces from the fry box. No purchase is necessary and there's a limit of one order of fries per customer.

While the Milwaukee-area McDonald's appear to be the only ones in the U.S. accepting the fake money, other stores around the country have promotions planned today as well.

For example, customers at a McDonald's in Cleveland who normally have to pay for parking will be given "free parking" today, WOIO-TV is reporting.

McDonald's will be giving aways millions of prizes in its 14,000 restaurants in the U.S. in its 19th edition of the game, the company said. This year, McDonald's is expanding the number of products that will have game pieces, and the oddsd of winning a prize are one in four. The top prize is $1 million in cash.

The game also can be played online at www.playatmcd.com.

"The Monopoly game at McDonald's is back and bigger than ever,"  Douglas Freeland, director of marketing, McDonald's U.S., said in a statement. "With actual one in four odds of winning, millions of prizes and 125 million winning game pieces on menu favorites, like the Big Mac and Egg McMuffin, winning has never been more exciting."
