Monopoly celebrates its 80th anniversary by including real cash in the limited 80 sets in France.
However, just one set will land the major jackpot where every note would be replaced by real money for a total windfall of 20,580 euros, News.com.au reported.
In addition, 10 sets will contain five real 20-euro notes, two 50-euro notes and one 100-euro note. A lesser prize can be scooped in 69 sets, which will have five 10-euro notes and five 20-euro notes.
The notes were replaced during a covert operation in the small forest town of Creutzwald in northeastern France.
Local bailiff Patrice Wimmer was on hand to supervise the counting and re-counting of the real bills.
