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.
