    Did you register? If you did then you probably haven't used one of the "prizes" you won (discounts off stuff or only P&P to pay etc, nothing you cannot find available most of the time anyway without it being a prize) and it is "legit"

    Every code entered on-line was a "winner".

    I got the same email today, I'd logged all our Monopoly spaces on their website and it did say, every time you put an online code in you get a guaranteed "win". The wins were stuff like, 10% off when you book with Best Western, etc etc. So I'm guessing that the unclaimed prizes are just these unused codes. Haven't bothered to open the mail fully or click on the link.

    I got this e-mail, but when I entered my e-mail address and password and clicked on 'Go' nothing happened. I e-mailed McDonalds about this and never got a reply, but I did get on to the page with the voucher codes using Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer.
