Albertsons is one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States. Founded in 1939, the company operates stores under various banners including Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Carrs, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Star Market, and Acme Markets.
In early 2020, Albertsons announced a Monopoly game with a unique twist: instead of the usual Boardwalk or Park Place, the top prize was a 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
The contest ran from February 3 through April 6, 2020 at participating stores. To enter, shoppers had to spend at least $50 on qualifying items and scan their store loyalty card. For every $50 spent, they received one game piece.
There were also pieces available through online grocery orders and by mail. The grand prize was a 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and there were also smaller prizes like gift cards and free groceries.
The game pieces were distributed as follows:
One in every 2 million game pieces was a grand prize winner.
One in every 200,000 game pieces was a first prize winner (gift card or free groceries).
One in every 10 game pieces was a second prize winner (gift card).
So what are the rare Monopoly pieces Albertsons 2020? The grand prize winning piece is obviously the most rare, followed by the first prize winning piece. The second prize winning piece is the least rare of the three.
