Could you use a little more cash in your life? How about $1,000,000? Monopoly starts today at McDonalds and they have switched sponsors this year. For the last two years, Bestbuy was a sponsor and customers could collect "Best Buy Bucks".

This year, Toys R Us has gotten into the game with "Toys R Us Bucks". They aren't the only ones as Foot Locker also have prizes such as discount coupons.

Here is the breakdown for Toys R Us Bucks:

2. $3 Toys R Us Buck - 3,000,000 total
3. $5 Toys R Us Buck - 2,000,000 total

Not only that, but Toys R Us is offering several other prizes in coordination with the Monopoly contest:

In addition to the traditional Monopoly game, McDonald's also runs the on-line second chance version.

You can actually save the 5 bucks, clogged arteries, and early diabetes by just buying the toys at full price.

You know one year my bro & I went to McDonald's so much we ended up getting every piece on the board *but* the properties needed to win anything. The game really isn't all that great, & it's really just made to keep you so busy working towards the prize to realize that the prizes are a lot fewer & farther between than they let on.....well, unless you take the time to read the actual chances in the official rules......

It'sd really not that bad. Eating too much of anything is dangerous, but a little common sence and you'll be fine.

The big Mc is just an easy target because it's so popular. Seriously, ever had one of their chicken clubs? Not too shabby...not the best....but I doubt that would clog your arteries that much.

I like their Grilled Chicken Clubs without Mayo. Not as bad for you as a lot of other things on the menu, plus, it taste better.

I've had 4 meals at my local McDonalds this past week, not 1 Toys R Us buck, I keep getting the damned Footlocker discounts. Still, the chicken selects are pretty good.

That = VERY BAD

First of all, if you read the rules, no McDonalds employee or relative of an employee are eligible to win. Second of all, you admitted, this is theft as well.

From a former McDonalds employee to a current one, I advise you to tell your child to stop before he gets caught. We had a guy try the same crap at the store I worked at and they threw the book at him.

You really don't want felony fraud and theft on your childs record, do you?
