Monopoly? It's a Marketing Strategy from Macdonald!!!

Do you know that Singapore Macdonald have this so called Instant Win with Mononopoly promotion? It's really a very clever marketing strategy.. It makes you thought that it's very easy to win. All you need to do is to eat at Macdonald and to get the game piece, stick it on the Gameboard and if you have those that in the same position, eg. Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh, you'll instantly win a ToysRus $200 voucher. If you get Marina Bay and Sentosa Cove, you'll instantly win $50,000 in cash.

It seems like a good catch, isn't it? But, from what I see, I suspect that in whole Singapore, there is only ONE game piece of Sentosa Cove and many many many game pieces of Marina Bay. This way, those that get Marina Bay will thought that they'll win $50,000 cash just by finding one game piece of Sentosa Cove. They didn't realise that there is only ONE Sentosa Cove. They will keep patronise Macdonald to look for the missing piece of Sentosa Cove.

Don't believe me? I am shortage of Toa Payoh, Joo Chiat, Sentosa Cove and Scotts Road. Ask anyone that have participate in this frantic search for game piece and they will tell you they lack these pieces too! Come on, the chance of winning is actually just like 4D or Toto, ONE IN A MILLION!!!!
