What you can expect from Monopoly GO Lucky Chance events is a bonus boost from landing on Chance tiles. When you land on them with Lucky Chance active, you get special cards with better effects than the usual ones, providing an assortment of rewards.

For example, you can get sticker packs directly, which isn’t possible in the standard Chance tiles. This is part of what makes the new Lucky Chance flash event exciting for everyone.

When is the next Monopoly GO Lucky Chance event?

Lucky Chance events in Monopoly GO typically drop around once a week. Here’s when you can expect the next Lucky Chance flash event to drop.

  • Sept. 10 from 2am to 7:59am CT, with a 15-minute duration
  • Sept. 11 from 11am to 4:59pm CT, with a 15-minute duration

Like most Monopoly GO flash events, Lucky Chance has a window of several hours in which you can log in and play it. But once activated, it only lasts for a short duration. Most Lucky Chance run times are between 10 and 30 minutes once activated.

All Chance card effects in Lucky Chance in Monopoly GO

The new cards in Lucky Chance are improved versions of existing Chance cards in Monopoly GO. Some give new effects, but most are just boosts to existing ones. Here’s the full list of known effects so far.

We don’t know the odds of getting each new Lucky Chance card because Scopely hasn’t revealed them yet. It’s likely that very beneficial cards, like ones giving missing stickers or lots of dice, are less common than those giving cash since dice and stickers are more valuable in other events. So, you won’t see these high-value cards as often as cash or other secondary boost cards.

Don’t expect to build a massive dice stash with Lucky Chance alone, but they’ll help you complete your album and get more stickers and duplicates to trade.

Is Lucky Chance worth playing?

Whenever there’s a Lucky Chance on the board, it’s worth rolling for it, especially with dice multipliers. The Lucky Chance bonuses can be very positive and give you direct boosts to whatever tournament or main event is happening.

For example, if there’s a tournament you haven’t completed, you can get Bank Heists directly from these chance tiles instead of going to a Railroad that might give you a Shutdown instead. Bank Heists give more points for tournaments, so landing on a Chance tile can indirectly become a high-scoring tile with Lucky Chance.

In top events with Community Chests, Chance tiles, and Railroads as scoring tiles, chance squares become even more interesting. You might land on a chance tile, get points for the top event, and get a bonus like extra dice and stickers. You could even go to a Railroad and get points twice in a single roll, earning at least eight points from one try. So, while Lucky Chance may not be amazing on its own, it’s great for boosting your earnings in other top events and active tournaments.

Dates for upcoming Lucky Chance events in Monopoly GO will be added regularly based on early datamined results and are confirmed when the event goes live.
