Man spends £100 in McDonald's to see how much Monopoly prizes he can win

Josh Ryan, 25, and his girlfriend Megan McLoughlin, 23, spent £100 on Maccies to see how much they could win on the Monopoly promotion - and they were left very surprised.

Every McDonald's enthusiast eagerly awaits this time of year - the much-loved McDonald's Monopoly event has returned.

Fast food lovers stand a chance to win amazing prizes by purchasing selected items that come with stickers; from free McDonald's treats to eye-watering sums of £100k in cash, the offerings are tantalizing. One man went all out and splashed £100 at McDonald's in hopes of striking it lucky with the prizes he might win. Josh Ryan, along with his girlfriend Megan McLoughlin, 23, excitedly opened each item he had bought, eager to discover any wins.

After investing £100 across two separate purchases, Josh realised he had mistakenly spent £6 on a Big Mac, not part of the Monopoly scheme. Yet, within moments of unveiling their first batch of purchases totalling £50, the couple's anticipation rose as they neared completing the yellow property set—securing a full set could land you an electric vehicle, a dream holiday or even the grand £100,000 prize.

Elated after peeling back the initial stickers, Josh exclaimed: "We only need one more yellow already."

Josh and Megan, after splashing out £50 on their first order, were left feeling deflated. They had high hopes of winning a TV but all they ended up with was a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, reports the Mirror.

Josh also tried his luck with the Double Peel, which gives McDonald's enthusiasts another chance to win on the website, but he didn't bag anything. Not one to be easily discouraged, Josh spent another £50 in hopes of winning more prizes.

After peeling off the first sticker from a drink, Megan announced that they had won £5 off a personalised phone case. Josh chimed in: "We've won already. That's a good start." He also scored a 15% discount code off a McDonald's order and a McDonald's Coca-Cola or Milkshake.

But the biggest win came when they checked their Double Peel - a £75 discount off a £750 spend with TUI. The TikToker was most thrilled about being just a few properties away from a major win.

He said: "We only need one more blue one, one more red one, one more orange."

In a follow-up video, he added that they now only needed "one more green". They also promised that if the video received 100,000 likes, they would make a part three, buying even more items.

McDonald's recently shared an update on the status of their Monopoly Prizes, revealing how many have been claimed and what's still available. The fast food giant announced on October 1 that they've handed out over 25.3 million prizes since the game kicked off on September 6.

They also disclosed that two fortunate customers have bagged the £100,000 cash prize.
