The Myth of the Free Parking Jackpot
Oh dear. It seems we've invented several Monopoly rules over the years. One of the most common is the idea that landing on "Free Parking" earns you all the money in the center pot. Guess what? That's not an official rule. According to the game's creators, there is no pot at all! Players who collect a big payout from Free Parking are actually just benefiting from a common misconception. And, contrary to popular belief, this isn't what Monopoly is about. In fact, the unexpected windfall makes the game last much longer than intended. The real goal is for all players except one to go bankrupt.
