Fries however come with only two game pieces in a meal.
Campaigners slammed Maccies in previous years for encouraging unhealthy choices which led to a shake up.
In 2019 (the last time the game ran) the pieces were added to the fruit, veg and salad products for the first time.
Play online games at quiet times
Game pieces come with a code to play games online, but you'll want to avoid lunch and dinner time.
There are two cash prizes up for grabs per minute and non-cash prizes are "allocated across the hours in that day at random subject to due weighting to take account of anticipated rates of game-play at different times of the day" according to the rules.
In other words, the more people playing the less chance there is to win, so play at less busy times.
Try wombling
Many people won't be playing the Monopoly game or even bother to check the pieces they have, according to MoneySavingExpert.com.
If you spot empty packets or cups on tables, it's worth checking to see if there is a tile you can use.
This practice is known as "wombling", though it's not always approved by companies, but millions of people do it across the country.
