Yes, everyone. Please don't get too excited about being just one ticket away from winning. If they say "1 in 10,000 chances of winning" they will only print that one ticket you're missing 1 time for every 10,000 of the others they print.

In other words, we're ALL going to be just 1 ticket away (and it'll be the same 1 ticket) from winning that big prize.

Speak for yourself. I'm laying claim to my $1M winning ticket.

Not necessarily. I don't buy a lot of processed or pre-packaged foods, but I do buy things like hair products, paper products, allergy medicine and ingredients like flour, sugar, or chili powder.

You missed it. She is better than you. Period, end of story, good night.

Excuse me for buying stuff like peanut butter, ice cream, crackers and paper towels at the grocery store. I'm sure you'll live longer than I will, though.

Congratulations!

They are swapping them on my neighborhood listserv!

Wow - those people in the comments are crazy! It never even occurred to me to join a Facebook group with the sole intent of swapping some of the game pieces.

You're clearly not a hard core player!

A game ticket is something you need to stick to a game board? My sister gave me a "catalina coupon" looking paper that says "You have earned 1 Game Tickets," but I don't see an obvious way to enter the contest. Is this paper useless? Thanks.

You collect your new game ticket at a Safeway store.

Online codes should be entered at the website to see if they are winners. - www.playmonopoly.us

They give 1 extra ticket for organic milk.

There was this comment there:
I noticed this contest when I bought some cottage cheese at Safeway and got 2 tickets. Thanks for the rare piece list. Since they're distributing 1.2 billion game pieces, and there are about 2.6 million substantial prizes (2 game pieces is not a substantial prize in the on-line game), my odds of finding a rare piece or getting a winning code are about 0.8% on any 4 piece pulltab I get for buying groceries. I would expect a winner once in 120 pulltabs, which would most likely be a $1 Redbox rental.

Right now the cheapest way for me to get pulltabs is to buy cans of tuna for 69 cents, yielding 2 pulltabs. I would reasonably expect to win a dollar prize by buying 60 cans of tuna, spending $40.

I get better value by playing dime-in-a-dish at a carnival.

Yes, go to "Code History"--it will show you which ones won and what prize, and you can print the appropriate forms from there.

I find this game time consuming and not fun. I am trying to stay with it but it seems there is no real teaser to keep me interested..I.e. small prizes to enjoy a "win"...rather than more game pieces that are sealed up like your w-2s and duplicates of ones you get every week. Hope people start winning and wonder if anyone else feels this game could be better structured to make it more fun and less work?
