939 bonuts choices.... is it random?

Overall I think it is random although I can find patterns at a time. Once I feel like there is a pattern then it gets switched up. I go through stretches where I don't have to spend any money to get three donuts and other times it is always in the last one that I choose.

It’s been discussed. The general consensus is that it’s random.

Its pretty much just random.

There are some days when wherever I hit, I get 3 donuts. There are some months when wherever I hit,k I get 1 donut.

I expect someone will be along to say that it's confirmation bias, however having opened many thousands of boxes, I'd say that anecdotally winning 1 donut does feel like it's more common than 3 donuts. I likewise notice a lot of streaks with 4-6 times in a row when I only win 1 donut, whereas similar streaks of 3 donuts do not feel so common...

Yup....I went along for about a month and thought I had the selection process nailed down. I rarely got a one or two on my first choice but then BOOOM, babee, BOOOM - that all changed. Now it seems much more random and thus more expensive to get the full boat each time. It's worth it, though, once you get your cash on hand above 3 mil so you don't have to worry about spending extra bucks to get 3 each time.

This issue (and issues like it) have been a never-ending source of debate on the forum. In response to a previous thread, I recall posting results from a data set that used a sample size of around 500, showing that the underlying process was random. I doubt I changed the mind of a single person who was otherwise convinced that there was some pattern involved.

I've been experimenting with this recently, doing far more work than I should, and it seems totally random.
Awhile ago I think you could go off what donut count was in the center then pick three off that but that has changed some time ago.

You convinced me, I had a similar set up and ran it. Had a friend who tried to set up an algorithm, said there were too many variables.

I did a 100 times bonus level up play and accept the first box I chose. Results appeared to be random
