While the promotion continues to drum up natural excitement for McDonald’s customers, there are also additional activities to celebrate its summer return:

MONOPOLY at McDonald’s on the Race Track: This year, McDonald’s kicks off the launch of MONOPOLY at McDonald’s with an innovative new Pass Go! Sweepstakes featuring Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (EGR) driver Jamie McMurray. At the Loudon, NH race on July 14, every time McMurray passes the start/finish line a lucky fan receives $200. If McMurray completes all 301 laps, the fan wins $60,200. “This is unprecedented and exciting,” said Douglas Freeland, Marketing Director for McDonald’s USA.  McMurray will also drive a newly designed MONOPOLY brand-themed race car and wear a matching fire suit.  The car will also race on August 11 in Watkins Glen, NY.

Social Media Engagement: This year, MONOPOLY at McDonald’s will once again tap into to social media to help drive the conversation online. On Twitter, fans can keep up with the conversation by following @McDonalds or using the hashtag #McDMonopoly throughout the promotion period. There will also be posts throughout July which will blend elements of the traditional board game, such as the introduction of the new MONOPOLY Cat token chosen by fans earlier this year in a worldwide vote. The new cat token will be in MONOPOLY games at retail this summer.

Local Market Events: To further celebrate the return of MONOPOLY at McDonald’s, several cities across the country will be hosting events in their markets in the first week following the launch of the game. Various markets will also take to their regional social media channels to help promote their efforts.
