Whether you choose to be the boot, the Scottie dog or the car when playing the MONOPOLY game, you can always count on collecting $200 when “Passing GO!” But have you ever wished the MONOPOLY money that you collected could be real?

To celebrate 75 years of buying and selling properties, and paying and collecting rent with play money, MONOPOLY is making the dream a reality and giving away the bank.

For 75 days this summer, MONOPOLY is asking its fans to describe what they would do if the money in their MONOPOLY game -- which totals $20,580 -- were turned into REAL money.

The MONOPOLY “Money Makes it Real” contest begins July 15, 2010 and entries will be accepted until September 3. Entries are to be limited to 75 words or less and should demonstrate a commitment to the spirit of MONOPOLY, such as travel, home repair or any other activity inspired by the history of the game, the Community Chest and Chance cards, the tokens or the game play.

For more information on the contest, please check out the MONOPOLY's website.
