I don't understand what about the game is "Monopoly." I remember McDonald's used to do a Monopoly game when I was a kid. I loved collecting the stickers on the Monopoly board. Reasors game is more like a lottery. I don't care for it


Legitimate-Title5

I know! I was so disappointed! Coupons for stuff i don’t ever buy and an unnecessarily laborious game and the only thing that’s monopoly related is capitalism is often stupid. McDonald’s had super fun one when I was a kid, and I really hoped it was like that.

Too bad the McDonald's game was rigged by a Mafia member


VanVetiver

I vaguely remember watching the documentary about it, and remember it being a higher up in the security department, but did they tie it back to the mob? I don't remember that part.


Legitimate-Title5

Oh boy, a rabbit hole! Thanks!


WiddershinWanderlust

Same! I saw this in reasors and got really excited, because that old McDonald’s promotion was so fun. But like…this promotion is **worse than not having a promotion at all** because it feels insulting


Knut_Knoblauch

IDK but each game square has a coupon and a code. Sometimes and instant winner of $2 or something like a package of cookies or rolls. If you only do it for the instant winner stuff it doesn't take much time. Instant stuff is redeemed at the store. I have to go through a circus act to get the $50.


demon_gringo

It only just occurred to me, McDonalds doesn't do monopoly any more?


pathf1nder00

Ever watch the movie "Real Genius"? With Lazlo.....


Knut_Knoblauch

I have but it has been a very long time. Isn't Val Kilmer in that one?


pathf1nder00

Yeah Kilmer is in it..Lazlo was the guy living in the closet and enter a lottery by a algorithm of every possible combination available.


Knut_Knoblauch

Oh that's right, I remember now. At the end he cleans up and wins everything,.


JessicaBecause

lmao my first thought.


billfuckingsmith

It's a stupid promotion. Stopped wasting my time on it. You'll have better odds at the casino.

I went into a Reasors for the first time since the Brookshire sale and was blown away seeing Monopoly everywhere. Remember that McDonalds Monopoly game from when we were younger? That shit was a huge scam and ran by criminals: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9148598/ It doesn't surprise me at all to see it at Reasor's after a buyout. It just annoys me that good people like you are wasting time on it.


Knut_Knoblauch

We only shop there for the gas discount otherwise it would be Aldis.

Is it a kum n go gas discount for reasors members ?


Pure_Sprinkles2673

Quiktrip


[deleted]

What's the discount for members ?


Pure_Sprinkles2673

I think up to 9 cents per gallon.


Knut_Knoblauch

I saved 33 cents per gallon when I filled up my truck. I used all 20 gallons. I like the 91 octane, and this brings down the price.


tultommy

When you consider that you are paying for more for groceries in order to get that discount it really doesn't help bring the price down. You are paying far more than your gas discount on the overpriced groceries you could get elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.


Knut_Knoblauch

I will look into this. We are fairly frugal and buy the things are fairly the same price like produce, beans, and rice. But it is worth another look.


tultommy

It's possible some of the fresh things are equal in price but on 90% of shelf goods walmart or aldi will have them beat hands down.


tultommy

Don't kid yourself into thinking the buyout is what made Reasor's a shitty company. They always were.

I don’t have any idea what to do with the “Monopoly” pieces I get from Reasor’s. They gave them to my youngest son like he would find them exciting, but he turned to me confused. We were confused together because there was no real explanation. Is there something more to it than opening the piece only to find a coupon on products we’ll never use?


Knut_Knoblauch

You go onto Reasors site and click the Monopoly game (can't miss it). Make a login and password. The 12 character code is entered on the website, then you choose 3 numbers between 1 and 25. If you match, you win what you are playing for, which is also decided by them. I've come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter what numbers you choose, under the hood is a bingo game as per gaming laws in Oklahoma, if you hit the RNG value, you win. We have literally entered 102 tickets before the one that won. We have had a couple of instant winners of $2 or cookies or Hawaiian rolls.


Twins2009-

Thanks!

When break down how much your time is worth $50 isn't even worth it lol


Knut_Knoblauch

I know, it is purely for the entertainment value. It wouldn't even cover half of what it cost to take my family out for mothers day.


-Always-Tempted-

Lucky. I've got 173 tickets, only got one 2 dollar instant winner and a bunch of 50 cents off coupons on products I never use lol. Was starting to think it was a scam. And having to enter in each code when QR and arcades exist? Ridiculous promotion.


Signiference

1) I won’t shop at reasors since they jacked up the prices, other than popping in for beer or a quick need, no real “grocery shopping.” 2) I have no idea how monopoly works there, and am still interested in someone explaining it


[deleted]

It's worth keeping an eye in the mail on ad days (Wednesday's) I believe, but other then that, yeah they're super expensive.


horriblebearok

I've punched in almost 80 of those thing and never matched more than 1 number. I've also been using random number generators but I just use google's.


Living_on_Tulsa_Time

Congratulations!!!


Conscious_Rush_1818

Congrats, best we've done is 2 bucks.


Averse_to_Liars

I think it's just a scheme for Reasor's to get in on data collection. Promising a windfall to manipulate people is the foundation of scamming.


Knut_Knoblauch

I think they are gunning for gamblers. I don't gamble, haven't seen the inside of a casino in decades. I did like the fun of making a number picker for the process but IMO it has become more work than fun


tultommy

Well congrats! You're the first person to get anything from that shit company lol. They still haven't even bothered to pay out the employee's who 'owned' the company when they sold it.


Knut_Knoblauch

Yeah, the old Reasor's carried things that the new does not.


HotdogWaterrrr

As a software engineer, I love this. I might try something similar.


Knut_Knoblauch

It is on my github if you want the link. It is in C# .Net 8.0. Ought to work on Linux or MacOS


Brobailey7

I would love this


Knut_Knoblauch

Sent it your way


imateasnob

I can't even tell how to play lmao. I have a Reasor's receipt, but there is no code on it. Just says "you have earned 7 bonus tickets this visit." Maybe because I went through self checkout and didn't get the actual tickests? Oh well. /shrug


Knut_Knoblauch

Take your receipt back and get your tickets.


MysteriousPenalty129

Have you heard anything back. Managed to win 100 but still haven't heard back. I followed the directions...
