McDonald's lucky bag
I won the 2025 edition of McDonald's lucky bag, so I'm going to open it right away!
Application ~ Sales schedule
McDonald's lucky bags are drawn by lottery on the official McDonald's app, and can only be purchased if you win.
Applications and sales for the 2025 edition were held according to the schedule below.
Winner announcement: December 17, 2024 (Tuesday) 14:00
Purchase period: January 1, 2025 (Wednesday) 8:00 to January 9, 2025, until store closing time
It seems that some stores will be selling on a first-come, first-served basis starting from New Year's Day.
Magnification
McDonald's lucky bags are not the kind of lucky bags where you are guaranteed to win if you apply, but they are popular lucky bags that require you to win at a considerable rate.
Since the specific ratio has not been disclosed, we will refrain from providing figures. .
I applied for the 2022 edition for three years, and finally got selected for the 2025 edition.
How to increase your chances of winning
Each person can apply for one ticket, but if you were not selected in last year's lottery like me, you will be asked to apply for two tickets, increasing your chances of winning.
Additionally, by specifying mobile order pickup, you will receive an additional order, so you can apply for a maximum of 3 orders.
Please note that even if you apply for 3 tickets, you will not be eligible for multiple prizes.
In addition, lucky bags that have passed the purchase period may be sold in-store as a cancellation option.
You may find something better if you visit the store after January 10, 2025.
Why is it popular?
The reason why lucky bags are so popular is because they definitely pay for themselves.
The contents of the lucky bag have been disclosed and consist of several types of goods + free gift certificates.
The 2025 goods will be introduced later, but the lucky bag costs 3,480 yen (tax included) and comes with a 3,610 yen worth of free product coupons, so you can get your money's worth at this point.
In addition, 1 in 10 “Gold Mac Card worth 500 yen”, so you may be able to save even more money.
As you can see, you can actually get goods for 0 yen, and it also comes with a free coupon for products worth more than the bonito price, so if you regularly eat Mac, this lucky bag is a must-have.
Lucky bag opening
The introduction is long, but let's open the lucky bag right away.
The contents of the lucky bag are disclosed in advance as mentioned above.
- big muck lantern
- potato hand catcher
- pouch
- cleaner cloth
- Free product ticket (3,610 yen worth)
- Gold Mac Card worth 500 yen *Enclosed with a probability of 1/10
We collaborate with companies on goods every year, and this time, we are collaborating with companies.BEAMS DESIGN” This is a collaboration with.
big muck lantern
This time's main goods can be said to be ``big muck lantern”.
The reproduction rate of the sesame seeds on the buns is quite good (lol)
Batteries are sold separately and require 3 AAA batteries.
I tried lighting it up right away, and it was surprisingly bright.
It is not waterproof, so it can only be used indoors, not outdoors, such as when camping. . Might be good for disaster prevention measures!?
Now, let's turn off the lights in the room, let only this light shine, and have a drink. . ?
potato hand catcher
『potato hand catcher” had three types of hands: yellow, red, and purple, and purple was included.
When you press the button, your fingers close and you can catch the potato.
The fingertips are jagged, making it easier to catch.
Its usage is limited to "potatoes". . It seems like you can catch not only french fries but also potato chips.
pouch
Should I use the pouch to store things like chargers that tend to fall apart? .
cleaner
Should I carry a cleaner in my pouch to wipe glasses, LCDs, etc.? .
Free product ticket (3,610 yen worth)
Among the lucky bags, the one with the highest monetary value is ``Free product ticket (3,610 yen worth)”.
- Grilled soy sauce-style double thick beef (580 yen)
- Bacon lettuce burger (410 yen)
- Teriyaki Mac Burger (400 yen)
- Chicken Filet-O (410 yen)
- Mac fries medium size x 2 (330 yen x 2 = 660 yen)
- Hot apple pie (140 yen) or your favorite carbonated drink M size (240 yen)
- Chicken McNuggets 5 pieces (260 yen)
- Premium roast coffee M size (180 yen)
- Oreo cookie chocolate frappe (470 yen) or Mac fries L size (380 yen)
Tickets that allow you to choose either cost a total of 3,610 yen, assuming you choose the more expensive menu.
If you choose the cheaper option, the total will be 3,420 yen, which is 60 yen less than the lucky bag price.
The expiration date is until June 30, 2025 (Monday).
Although it is a good deal in terms of money, there are some negative points, such as a limited menu, an expiration date, and personally, what I dislike most is that you cannot use mobile ordering and have to order in-store.
Gold Mac Card worth 500 yen
Now, one out of every 10 pieces is included.Gold Mac Card worth 500 yen” was included. .
It was in!
Winning a lucky bag, ``Gold Mac Card worth 500 yen” Considering that it was included, 2025 looks like it will be a good year.
Closing Thoughts
The contents of the lucky bag are made public in advance, and you can definitely get your money's worth, so it's easy to see why it's so popular.
I think lucky bags will be released next year in 2026, so Mac users should definitely apply.
I won in 2025, so my chances of winning next year will be slightly lower. .
I'm planning to apply again in hopes of winning and being able to purchase again.
