In the McDonalds Monopoly Game; do they print off more of the rare stickers / pieces than theres ment to be?

I live in the UK, and I have the Strand and the Fleet Street stickers / pieces, and because i know Strand is a very rare piece I am getting the Trafalgar Square piece from eBay. But i just wanted to make sure that the game isn't a scam and there are more of the Strand pieces than there should be (250). Please answer A.S.A.P :) xIn the McDonalds Monopoly Game; do they print off more of the rare stickers / pieces than theres ment to be?
It's doubtful that there would be more than one of the rarest pieces -



Let's say that the top prize was a million dollars (or pounds, or euros...), there's probably only ONE of the game pieces that would enable someone to win the top prize. Otherwise, if they made two of them, there's a chance that both would end up in the hands of people who were active game-players, and knew the worth of the winning piece -



That way, they'd have to pay out TWO jackpots, and they probably can't afford to do that. So there's probably only one. And if it ends up in the hands of someone who doesn't realize its value, or accidentally throws it away, then they don't have to pay out the top prize...



There should be some fine print on your game-board, or maybe on the pieces, that tells you what the odds are of winning each prize. If the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 500,000, that would suggest that there are 500,000 game pieces, and only 1 of the winning game piece.



Here in the U.S., it turned out that the McDonald's Monopoly game was rigged for several years - the top prizes always seemed to go to friends of the president of the company that supervised the game...hmmm....



They had to do a special jackpot one year, just to make up for the fact that no ordinary people had a chance at winning the top prize for the last three years...In the McDonalds Monopoly Game; do they print off more of the rare stickers / pieces than theres ment to be?
They don't, but counterfeiters sure do!
