Does McDonalds do monopoly anymore? I noticed the article is from 2014 but this year they've been doing a similar promotion but centered around the NFL.
In the United States it's typically in September or October, in 2015 it was apparently replaced with the Minions Sweepstakes promotion.
I'm in the US and I haven't seen any Minions Sweepstakes promotions, just NFL stuff for the past few months.
IIRC, the Minions promotion was in August or September. I don't usually eat fast food, but was in a huge push at work for a major migration, and just needed something "quick". I know I created an account for it, but it was so low-security for me I didn't enter it into KeePass, so can't even tell for sure when it took place.
We definitely had Minions but it was a lot more scaled back.
