Yep, it’s that time of year again. From now until Nov. 2, whenever you buy McDonald’s food, your order will come with McDonald’s Monopoly game pieces attached. This year the fast food giant has added an extra twist: There is a possibility someone will win $1 million every day.

It all depends on the roll of the dice. Every day, a player in McDonald’s Monopoly 2009 will have a chance to win either $10,000 or $1 million. If the player selected to roll the dice rolls double sixes, the prize is $1 million. Of course, there will be no actual, physical rolling of the dice. This all happens online at playatmcd.com.

Slim pickings

Now, don’t go blowing your cash till payday on McDonald’s food in order to get your chance at winning $1 million. Millions, possibly billions, of game pieces will be issued, and only 29 players will get a chance at $1 million. In order to become a registered player, you must go enter the code on  your game piece on the web site.

Of course, the more McDonald’s stuff you buy, the more chances you will have to win, but make sure you are doing what’s right for your health and your budget. Even for the $10,000, there’s a very small chance at winning.

Promotional partnership

The dice roll and grand-prize-of-the-day winning will be a nightly event on “The Jay Leno Show.” On weeknights, you can find out who the winner is from Jay Leno thanks to a cross-promotional deal between McDonald’s and NBC. You can also get updates on the winner from Twitter if you follow the McDonald’s Monopoly game 2009 Twitter feed, @McDonald’s. And, of course, you can discover whether you are the winner on the web site.

When  you enter your game piece code on the web site, you will also find out whether you have won a different prize. Prizes in the McDonald’s Monopoly game 2009 include $50 or $500 Shell gift cards, Xbox 360 systems, free Boingo Wi-Fi at more than 11,000 McDonald’s locations in the U.S. and My Coke Rewards Points.
