Monopoly makes it real - submit stories - 18+

[curiost]

i don't think they've decided yet because the top 75 haven't been announced officially either

I got an email back from the monopoly people, it's all run in the US, so the aussie contact is going to get back to me on expected announcement time, but they said it might be likely thats it's in the end of oct.

Update:

Thank you for your email.
 
The winner of the competition has been contacted by Hasbro, they need to wait for the legalities to be finalised before the results can be published.
 
This process could be delayed if any problems occur in which case another person may be nominated the winner instead.
 
The final results are due to be published early to mid November.

Thought you'd like to know.

Here's the winning entry.  They called themself Monopolize on the chart and were ranked 35th in the voting (I was sad enough to copy the entries before they were deleted) - this one was in my top 5 too.

75 years of MONOPOLY, thousands of stories, your votes for 75 finalists for a chance to win a bank of MONOPOLY money in real cash. One winner has been chosen to GO to begin living the MONOPOLY money dream.

Story: 20 grand is fab, when Monopoly skills can bank a further grab!! Getting "go"ing fast; in order to gain, and an Old-Kent-style property; I would attain. With this, I'd make a splendid living, so birthdays become a "chance" to be giving! I'd upgrade my house from green to red - when adding extensions and a new bed! Family and dog - happy and humming. Savings - ready for when the taxman is incoming!
