Finding more and better magic items is critical to overcoming challenges and defeating enemies in Diablo III, particularly on higher difficulties. Magic find is a unique item property that can help you drastically improve your haul. It is tracked in the Inventory menu (Inventory > Details > Adventure).
But what does that really mean?
Magic find affects the quality of items you acquire from killing enemies (but not treasure chests, vases, weapon racks, or other environmental objects). It doesn’t give you a chance to get more items on a given kill – instead, it increases the chance that an item you find will be magical, and more potent than it would be otherwise.
When a monster drops an item, Diablo III randomly determines the item’s quality from a chart that includes item quality and the number of affixes present. The game randomly "rolls" on each property in the chart to determine which affixes your item will get. Your magic find score is applied as a bonus to these rolls.
For example, if a monster has a 4% chance to drop a 6-affix rare item and you have +50% magic find, it now has a 6% chance to drop that item.
Item quality is checked in the following order:
Legendary
6-affix rare
5-affix rare
4-affix rare
2-affix rare
1-affix rare
magic item
The original post got a Blizzard reply:
Posted by FuzzbearThe day before Thanksgiving I got a whopping 21 browns/greens (MP2/Maxed out MF)... it certainly felt like someone bumped up the % rate, but I was probably just immensely lucky that day. Never saw anything even close to that # of drops again.
No changes or adjustments have been made to the drop rates, so this is a merely case of very good luck. Congratulations on that btw. :-)

Indeed. RNG can be a blessing and a curse at the same time :-)
