This is a reference to the popular board game "Monopoly". It is only used to be funny in common speech and the meaning isn't really important.

It is referring to the popular board game, Monopoly. In the game, if you are unlucky, you are told to go to jail. You can't pass go, so you can't collect 200 dollars.
It's used in real life, to describe a situation where you're unlucky/failing. But it's used in funny situations, not serious ones.
