Ever gazed at your Monopoly winnings and wished that it were so easy to make money in real life? Well you may be in luck.

To celebrate the game's 80th anniversary in France, one lucky buyer will open their box to find the familiar paper bills replaced with genuine cash - 20,580 to be exact.

Additionally, 10 sets will contain a lesser prize of €300 and 69 will contain €200

Speaking to the Guardian, Florence Gaillard, brand manager at Hasbro France, spoke about the prizes:

“We wanted to do something unique. When we asked our French customers, they told us they wanted to find real money in their Monopoly boxes.”

For those on the search, the size of the real notes has required the cash-laden box, which is one of 30,000, to be expanded very slightly, so there may be sightings of treasure-hunters trawling through toy stores with measuring tapes.
