OK, for those who haven't figured it out (or who are too young to
remember the last time McDonald's did this promotion), there is really
only one winning piece for each monopoly. The rest are just sucker
pieces. 

For example, to win $1,000,000, you need Boardwalk. Probably everyone
and their brother has Park Place.

There's probably an accounting variation thrown in for the person who
pulls the one piece to begin with and throws it away, not knowing
they've won.

The BIGGER scam is the requirement that you send a SASE to get free
gamepieces. Although in retrospect, that's probably an outgrowth of
the 84 Olympics game (win a prize for every medal that the US gets in
your event... The eastern block boycots, the US wins everything. My
friends & I would go to McDonald's, get our free game piece, scratch
it off and have lunch for free.)
