Our suspicions were correct and this year McDonald's are indeed running an on-line component to the main game.

All stickers will carry an on-line code which will allow you to enter an hourly prize draw.

The prize draw system works by choosing a time at random every hour and if you happen to enter your code at that exact time chosen you will win a 1,000 prepaid visa card.

You can enter up to 24 times in a day i.e. once an hour on average BUT they don't say if you are actually limited to once an hour or not. They also don't say if you can re-use the same code each time or whether the codes are a single use only. We'd expect them to be single use, and we'll tell you more as soon as we know more ourselves.

This on-line part of the game starts at 11am on the 24th of March 2010 (24/03/2010), half an hour after the main promotion opens, and runs through to the 4th of May 2010 (04/05/2010)!

Good luck everyone!
