...And as usual there are also lots of food and discount voucher prizes to be won.

All major prizes need to be claimed by the 4th of June 2010 (04/06/2010) and free food vouchers are valid until the 18th of May 2010 (18/05/2010), play.com discount vouchers are valid until the 31st of May 2010 (31/05/2010).

Compared to last year the game doesn't seem quite as generous especially given that the online prize draw is going to be very difficult to win, but it's still worth playing!

All stickers will carry an on-line code which will allow you to enter an hourly prize draw.

The prize draw system works by choosing a time at random every hour and if you happen to enter your code at that exact time chosen you will win a 1,000 prepaid visa card.

You can enter up to 24 times in a day i.e. once an hour on average BUT they don't say if you are actually limited to once an hour or not. They also don't say if you can re-use the same code each time or whether the codes are a single use only. We'd expect them to be single use, and we'll tell you more as soon as we know more ourselves.

This on-line part of the game starts at 11am on the 24th of March 2010 (24/03/2010), half an hour after the main promotion opens, and runs through to the 4th of May 2010 (04/05/2010)!

Good luck everyone!

McDonald's mentions that the game starts at 11am online so we might be seeing a dedicated online component to the game this year too, as the USA have had for the last few years...

As with last year's game 1 in 3 wins and we'll be following it all the way!

Check back soon for the latest news!

However I would like to know if any of you think we should change the way the site operates this year?

We get literally 1000's of visitors a day during the promotion and I can't help thinking some of you might like something other than my simple little blog..?

What's good and what's bad? What do you think would be good to see on the site going forwards? Would you prefer a forum? Does the site just need a redesign? Leave a reply and let me know

FindaProperty.com is delighted to be sponsoring the McDonald's Best Chance Monopoly promotion which began on 18^th March 2009.

Best Chance Monopoly works like this: customers who choose selected items from McDonald's menu will receive either 'instant win' or 'collect to win' stickers.

'Instant win' does exactly as its name suggests – wins you a prize on the spot - while 'collect to win' gives customers a chance to win one of two £300k to buy a home.

To be in with a shout, all you have to do is collect a complete set of three green stickers named after the three green streets in the Hasbro UK Monopoly game that the promotion is based on: Bond Street; Oxford Street; and Regent Street.

Collect all three: win one of two £300k to buy a home!

FindaProperty.com's Marketing Director, Sarah Boorman, says: "FindaProperty.com is delighted to be working with McDonald’s and Best Chance Monopoly.

"We feel our brand is the perfect fit for the promotion. As part of a continuous investment in the marketing of FindaProperty.com, this promotion also fits well with our new advertising campaign where we asked people to tell us what their home means to them.

"Last but not least, we hope to see two lucky winners purchase their dream property through the game. In a time of a downturn, it is nice to think that we could potentially help two people get on the property ladder."

The promotion will run from 18th March to 28th April.  Visit McDonald's Best Chance Monopoly to find out more.
