How do you get the bubble blower without spending real money to open the simcash boxes?
It's random. In the gaming industry it is called a loot box. Gaming companies love them because they entice you to spend real money for a small chance at the big prize. Most game players hate them.
I got the hot tub on my second "box" of that event. It's all just luck and random numbers.

I been told else where that the coins I already have won't count towards the 1,700. Is that true?
(EDIT) Nevermind. I'm there now & yup it's true! I find that unfair & it shouldn't be - Re: loot boxes, I don’t get motivated by them much at all. They are just super frustrating. I did, however, spend real $$ on the ASOS events because the goals and prizes were something I wanted and the outcome was clear (time crazy notwithstanding, but I could buy sim bucks to speed that up rather than just waste $ on potentially nothing). For the same reason lottery tickets aren’t even the least bit tempting to me irl.
[feedback] For me, a new chest or 50 event coins or event 25 event coins would have been a kinder reward for opening a box which had an item in it that I already had instead of the payout of 200 simoleons and some green tickets that you get. Takes no time to make 200 simoleons and green tickets but depending on how many chests you open which contain doubles you can easily lose a full day + of event coins.

- Woohoo!!! I mean Yippee!! I finally got my harem pants! No bubble hookah but this is what I have wanted instead of all the wall hangings and loveseats and mirrors I’m getting.
And agree with the green tix, especially when there are zero ways to spend green heirloom tix in the game!
But yay! My pants finally came through!
It’s like my fairy tale royal wedding prize haha

I agree, but at least it is better than the last time when they used loot boxes (the hot tub event). In that one a duplicate gave you 2 of the event ducks. I think they should eliminate the possibility of duplicates..If you get one it should re-randomize until you get something you don't have.
