They have put it on pause owing to the fact that during this global health crisis they cannot yet be confident that people will be able to collect, claim or redeem their winnings or prizes.

McDonald’s said: “This year’s prizes include a number of luxury holidays, European city breaks and cruises which will have all been impacted by current and ongoing restrictions on international travel. Following conversations with our suppliers and prize partners, we feel it is appropriate to delay the promotion until later this year. I apologise for any disappointment caused by this update and I look forward to Monopoly returning to our restaurants as soon as possible.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
