What you can win
The game combines three kinds of prizes. Instant prizes include food and MyMcDonald's Rewards points. Collect-to-win prizes include a 2027 Jeep Cherokee Overland (five available), Polaris and Slingshot vehicles, $100,000 in cash for collecting St. Charles Place, States Avenue and Virginia Avenue, trips to Universal Orlando and Kennedy Space Center, and Carnival cruises.
The Chance Card Game has 34 prizes of $10,000 and one $1,000,000 prize. The winner of the top prize receives $50,000 each year for twenty years. The rules do not give a single winner count because the number of instant prizes depends on the pieces issued.
How to play
Get a game piece by buying an eligible menu item at a participating McDonald's while supplies last, or by mailing a free request.
Play in the McDonald's app between October 6 and November 1, 2026, local time. Each piece that earns a bonus play unlocks a Chance Card Game turn.
Opt in to MyMcDonald's Rewards, which the rules describe as free.
The daily limit is up to eight game codes and eight Chance Card plays, counted by the Eastern Time day. The free mail-in request must be received before November 2, 2026. No purchase is necessary to play or win.
Who can play
The game is open to residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 or older on the day they play. Participation in the app route is tied to MyMcDonald's Rewards, and the rules require accepting Rewards offers and deals, so check the channels listed there before opting in.
How winners are decided
Prizes come from game pieces, collections and the Chance Card Game, where prizes are released at set times. The Redemption Center verifies each winner.
The Chance Card Game ends on November 8, 2026, and collect-to-win prizes must be claimed before 11:59:59 p.m. local time on November 22, 2026. The rules give dates in local time without a single offset, so this listing uses Central Time, the organizer's home time zone.
