Where to Find Rare Game Pieces for Albertsons Monopoly

Rare Games Pieces for Albertsons Monopoly

If you’re familiar with the Albertsons’ Monopoly promotion, then you know it’s no secret that your chances of winning the jackpot prize are extremely difficult. This year, the big cash prize is $1,000,000 once again. But, don’t get your hopes up; the odds of winning aren’t great. This year though, they are a littler bit higher!

Finding Rare Game Pieces

In order to win one of the bigger rewards, such as the vacation home, luxury car or home makeover, you need to find rare and semi-rare pieces. These change every year, and with the competition just starting last week, it may take some time before all the rare pieces are revealed.

However, there are a few places to look and a few things for you to know when beginning your search for rare Monopoly pieces:

  • Get creative. Leave no stone unturned when searching for these items or leads. Many blogs share the full list of items as well as continuously update as the promotion continues. We suspect you will be able to find more of these by the end of February or beginning of March all over the internet. People seem to really ban together for this event as it is knowingly challenging to fill your game board. Some online forums we found were on YouTube.com with a search for Albertsons Monopoly.
  • Get out of the area. You probably will not have much luck if you only shop in the participating stores in your area. If you are really dedicated to winning this year, you are going to need to shovel out some gas money and consider taking a road trip or two (both long and short) to increase your chances of finding these rare game pieces. As a reminder of the game rules, you can even make a small purchase in order to receive a ticket, but there are exceptions such as no tickets provided with purchases of tobacco products and lottery tickets.
  • Start early. The sooner you start, the better as you will believe to collect more over time. However, expect to see a large distribution of tickets in April since the contest ends May 5. You may be able to lock in some last-minute prizes at this time and having some decent tickets to trade will help your chances.
  • Share the wealth. There are participants who are willing to buy, trade and sell tickets they need for this Albertsons’ Monopoly promotion. Individuals will sell on eBay as well as trading sites like this one. Of course, the rare pieces will be a bit costly as the seller may be potentially helping you win $1,000,000. You, too, can cash in, though, by selling tickets you don’t need or even trading groups of tickets with other competitors in order to fill in a color on the board.
  • Be careful. Be quite cautious when you are hunting for areas to buy and sell these rare game pieces. The world is full of scammers, and the internet is no exception. Do your research, review the seller and make sure you are submitting your credit card numbers through a safe and secure site.

What Are The Rare Game Pieces in 2019?

Below, is a list of the rare game marker list for Albertsons’ Monopoly 2020 Collect & Win game.  These may be updated as more information is collected throughout the promotion. All of these have cash value (from $1 million to $5 cash):

  • A606F

  • M656A
  • J643B
  • J646E
  • F630D

  • N663C
  • L653B
  • K649B
  • H641A
  • G635C
  • E625C
  • D623A

The Odds of Winning

Albertsons monopoly online

If you’ve visited an Albertsons or Safeway in the past month, you know they’ve kickstarted their Monopoly sweepstakes game for the year. After the game was released on February 9, it has already gotten the attention of millions with its $1 million grand prizes. Additionally, you no longer have to collect physical game pieces. Now, you can play Albertsons Monopoly online!

That’s right! The contest, which has been highly-anticipated each of its nine years, can appeal to even the most tech-savvy amongst us.

How to Play Albertsons Monopoly Online

All you have to do is go shopping at an Albertsons-owned store for your groceries (groceries that you’ll buy anyway). Then, you collect the game pieces and you can play online.

To play online, you simply fill out a submission form. You enter information like your name, email address, address, phone number, etc. When you get a Monopoly game piece, you enter the online code into your “play monopoly” account and begin collecting your game pieces.

You have to get matching game pieces to win or two of the “rare” game pieces. Prizes include two $1 million prizes, four million-dollar vacation homes, and the total pool of smaller prizes are worth more than $200 million. Of course, eight years ago (when it first started), Albertsons had far fewer stores and far fewer Monopoly game pieces being distributed.

Albertsons 2019 Game

No one pays to play Albertsons Monopoly which is an added bonus. From now until May 7, you will have the option of collecting the pieces when you go shopping. Practically 2,300 stores across the United States will be offering game pieces to its customers. In addition to the larger names, a number of small local stores are offering games pieces for shopping as well.

Participating stores include Albertsons®, Safeway®, Pavilions®, Carrs®, Vons®, Randalls®, Eagle®, Pak ‘n Save®, Tom Thumb®, ACME Markets®, Jewel-Osco®, Shaw’s Supermarkets®, Star Markets®, United Supermarkets®, Market Street®, Amigos®, United Express®, Albertsons Market®, Lucky® (Southern California only) and Super Saver® stores (“Market Stores”).

Alternate Methods of Entry

You can also enter through the United States Postal Service by sending a self-addressed envelope to the Albertsons Monopoly at MONOPOLY MON-09 Collect and Win Game Ticket Request, Attn: Promotions Coordinator, P.O. Box 965068, Marietta, GA 30066. These should be handwritten addresses on the envelope and they can also be postmarked no earlier than February 9 and they must also be received before the contest is over (May 7).

However, most people will be playing online and entering to win some really great prizes, including the $1 million grand prizes.

Some previous winners have traded Monopoly pieces in order to win big. Be sure to check out the Albertsons Monopoly game piece thread in the Saving Advice forums!

How To Get Albertsons Monopoly Game Pieces For Free

By 8 Comments

Albertsons Monopoly game pieces for free

Albertsons Monopoly kicked off at the beginning of the month. Many shoppers have begun collecting game pieces as they do their regular grocery shopping. If you’re looking for a way to earn even more chances to win, you can get Albertsons Monopoly game pieces for free without spending a dime!

Albertsons Monopoly Game Pieces Free

To win, you will need a large number of tickets. Thankfully, there are more than 2,000 locations giving out Monopoly pieces. In addition to the larger names (Albertsons and Safeway), other Albertsons-owned retailers are participating as well.

Qualifying purchases at Pavilions, Carrs, Vons, Randalls, Eagle, Pak ‘n Save, Tom Thumb, Jewel-Osco, Acme Markets, Shaw’s/Star Market, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos, United Express, Lucky (Southern California only) and Super Saver will get you closer to winning the 2019 game. With that in mind, here are the three ways to get free Safeway and Albertsons Monopoly game pieces.

1. Write Letters

Even though the price of stamps has increased, envelopes and postage are still cheaper than a cart full of groceries. This is the most straightforward way to get free Albertsons Monopoly tickets.

The official rules for Safeway and Albertsons Monopoly still state that you can include a SASE in an old-fashioned postal letter to MONOPOLY MON-11 Collect and Win Game Ticket Request, Attn: Promotions Coordinator, P.O. Box 965068, Marietta, GA 30066.

The mail-in requests must be received no later than May 9, the last date tickets will be distributed for the promotion. It must be mailed in individually and legibly addressed. Any submissions made in business reply envelopes will not be considered. Other restrictions do apply, so you’ll want to read the complete rules in order not to miss anything.

Once you send in your request, you will receive one game ticket and one bonus game ticket, for a total of two tickets. It’s also important to note that the online prizes are different than the Collect and Win portion of the game.

2. Trade Game Pieces Online

Another strategy for getting Albertsons Monopoly game pieces for free is trading them online. Some sites (like Craigslist) will have posts detailing individuals wanting to swap unneeded game pieces. You can also trade Monopoly game pieces in the Saving Advice forums.

If you’re not having any luck with trading, consider searching for the specific grocery brands included in the promotional deal. You could even post an ad and explain that you want to pool Monopoly game pieces with people who’ve shopped at all the different grocery brands that participate in the promotion. Sometimes, you may even find someone willing to give their tickets away entirely.

3. Ask Friends For Tickets

Any of your friends who shop at any of the participating grocery stores may be able to help you win too. If you pool your tickets, you may be able to improve your odds of winning. The wider the circle of friends you reach out to, the greater your chances of obtaining multiples of the same ticket.

The more people you’re able to get involved, the better your chances are. This, in addition, to the other two strategies mentioned above, your chances begin to add up.

Good Luck

Given the odds of winning Safeway and Albertsons Monopoly, any way you can obtain game pieces will put you ahead. So if you’re willing to do the extra work, you can play smarter without ruining your budget.

By 48 Comments

tricks to win albertsons monopoly

Albertsons Monopoly is back! The Collect and Win game pieces are probably already cluttering up your car and maybe even your kitchen counter. While the basic game pieces are easy to come across, the rare and semi-rare pieces can be a little tricky to find. Luckily, after 11 years of playing the sweepstakes game, people have come up with tricks to win Albertsons Monopoly.

Tricks to Win Albertsons Monopoly

This is the eleventh year Albertsons stores have offered shoppers a chance to win $1 million through its Monopoly sweepstakes game. Over the years, shoppers have found inventive ways to win the game. Here are just a few tricks you can keep up your sleeve.

Team Up to Win

Team up with friends and family. Gather a large group of loved ones to divide and conquer. The more tickets you can collect and trade, the better your chances can be at finding those rare pieces and, ultimately, winning at least one of the bigger prizes. Essentially, this is a collect-and-win game. See if your family is interested in participating this year together. Plus, this can be a great family-bonding experience. Sharing is caring after all, right?

Look Online for Extra Tickets

Peruse around on Cragislist.com and online forums. Craigslist is already starting to fill with individuals holding a handful of extra tickets they are willing to trade so that they can fill their own game boards. Other outlets like the comment sections on YouTube.com Albertsons’ Monopoly videos also contain useful information from participants with markers to trade. You can always use competitions from the past to implement to the 2018 game. While you likely will never find a rare or semi-rare piece for free, you can at least still cash in on some of the other useful and fun prizes. Not to mention those bonus tickets can really come in handy too.

Road Trip to Albertsons

Follow this pair of traveling sisters’ advice. These sisters previously posted their winnings on Youtube.com after doing a mini-road trip to a variety of Albertsons stores in the southwest.  You can read more about their journey and their strategy on their site. However, despite collecting thousands of tickets, they still did not hit the big prize. This will hopefully give you an idea of how many tickets you need to gain in order to increase your own chances.

Shop at Albertsons Exclusively

Only buy your groceries from Albertsons and Albertsons-owned participating stores until May 8. Again, the more markers you gather the better your odds. So, by doing your regular grocery shopping at these chains, you can get an early start on collecting. Plus, you can mail-in requests for tickets as well.

In summary, you should do your research, start early and recruit a crew to tackle this promotion. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for how to obtain those bonus tokens as they often lead to more winning opportunities. Hopefully, these tricks to win Albertsons Monopoly will you help you with your efforts in 2018.

How a Previous Year’s Winner Did It

The story of a previous year’s Grand Prize winner provides further insights on how people are able to win the game. In 2012, an El Paso Community College student named Melissa Varela swooped up the $1 million cash prize of the “Collect and Win” game by shopping at the 9111 Dyer Albertsons Market in El Paso.

At the time, she was the only million-dollar winner since the contest began in 2009. Prior to Valera, the last grand prize was awarded in the promotion’s first year to a Los Lunas, NM couple who won a $500,000 mortgage payoff.

Varela increased her chances by accepting tickets and increasing the number of times she shopped each week. She may have only shopped at one Albertsons location, but others have seen much success in the form of free grocery goodies by shopping at multiple sites.

Commit Big to the Albertsons Monopoly Game

The moral of the story: If you’ve made the decision to play the 2019 Albertsons Monopoly game, you need to commit big. Making regular visits to the participating stores and collecting as many tickets as possible seems to be the best bet; at least, that is what worked for Melissa. Luck definitely plays a role but so does consistency.

Also, don’t forget you can also submit for a second-chance drawing. Winners have been able to collect the grand prize through the second-chance drawing by submitting their game pieces online. Don’t forget to register for your free game pieces too!

This is not to say this is a guaranteed way to win, but as the old saying goes, “Go big, or go home.”

The Odds of Winning the Albertsons Monopoly Game 2019

By 236 Comments

Albertsons Monopoly Odds

Albertsons Monopoly is back for its 11th year. The contest, which involves collecting Monopoly game pieces from various Albertsons-owned stores, has been something that has created a bit of a stir in recent years. You collect game pieces and, if you are lucky, you will get the right pieces and win the grand prize of $1 million.

Until May 7, you will have the option to gain Monopoly game pieces when you shop at an Albertsons-owned store. The overall goal of the game is to match a set of properties on a Monopoly game board to win a specific prize. Prizes range from free groceries or merchandise to $1 million.

Practically 2,300 stores across the United States will be offering game pieces to its customers. This year is the first year Safeway shoppers will be eligible to play. ACME, United Supermarkets, Star Market, Safeway, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Pavilions, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, and several smaller, local stores are all offering the Monopoly game pieces and a chance to win $1 million to its customers.

The contest in which people win millions of dollars has been a highly-anticipated event each year since it started 11 years ago. Since Albertsons is continually growing, the contest is continually growing as well. This year, the prizes are bigger as last year and the probability of winning is much higher than in previous years.

Albertsons Monopoly Odds of Winning

Now that you’ve read a bit about the contest, you may be thinking about trying your hand at winning. What are the odds of winning Albertsons Monopoly and taking home one of the $1 million grand prizes?

To win the grand prize of $1 million you need to find two of the hardest to find game pieces. Chances of finding one of these rare game pieces are now 1 in 404 million. So, that means (on the first try) your odds of getting both of the pieces necessary to win $1 million are more than two trillion to one, which aren’t greats odds.

However, it isn’t impossible to win. Additionally, like last year, Albertsons is offering six prizes valued at $1 million. Of course, there are the three $1 million cash prizes but the grocer is also offering three $1 million vacation home prizes as well. If these prizes go unclaimed, Albertsons then performs a second chance drawing for a shopper to get their $1 million.

Increasing Your Odds of Winning Albertsons Monopoly

As stated above, you’ll need to collect rare game pieces to win the grand prize. It isn’t very likely you’ll find one yourself. You are more likely to encounter “rare” games pieces through online trading. Some people trade game pieces to give themselves a better chance of winning one of the prizes (even if it is not the grand prize). It isn’t usually very hard to find someone willing to get rid of a “semi-rare” pieces that may complete a winning set for someone else.

That is only to win the $1 million cash prize or vacation home though. If you are okay claiming a smaller cash price, there are plenty of other rewards to be had. However, there are fewer of these opportunities this year. There will only be 67 million tickets available for free grocery products with values between $0.59 and $14.99 (compared to 112 million tickets last year).

In all reality, if you win anything from the Albertsons Monopoly game, it will likely be one of their smaller prizes, like gift cards, free grocery items, and other small cash prizes. You don’t pay to play though, so you’ve really got nothing to lose. Aside from buying your regular groceries, Albertsons Monopoly costs absolutely nothing for those who play. From now until May 7, when you purchase your groceries at an Albertsons grocer, you will get game pieces.
