Maybe 300 balloons, since it was the last 1 I popped.Its definitely worth telling people then, that they need to go back to Springfield, so they won't possibly lose them.

I am going to win the first-prize in the lottery this weekend, but for different reasons I know beforehand that I will have a hard time getting a picture of it, and I certainly won't have any other proof either. What I can give is an in-depth story about how great it will feel... I might even be available to give people advise about how they should deal with such a prize if they would happen to win in the future.

If people actually "win" donuts here, are you sure we haven't all come to the point where we get that 300th balloon instead?

That's what happens when you try to help people on these boards. * who think they are better than you have to post some ignorant to boost their confidence.

Hell froze over: I actually won donuts in the balloon game

My problem is with the weekly prize box. Every time i have won 10 free donuts it never fails that the game crashes with in a few minutes and i lose the donuts. Then when i log back in i get another weekly prize box and get a parking lot or tree. Never fails happens every time. I have never gotten to keep any donuts i have won for free from the prize box

that happened to me twice.
the trick is to synchronize your game asap if you win donuts so that you don't lose them

I've never had the chance to sync as it crashes immediately the prize shows. Can't even get a picture as it crashes so quick.

It takes 3 days to build SSY and 33.33 days to pop 300 balloons that would be Sept 5-6. I got my 5 donuts a week later when I poped @ 387 balloons. So like I said before when you get 300 balloons/ games you will get 5/50 donuts and you will get them exactly when you get 300 and not 301,310,333, or 387 (you get my point now). And I'd imagine there would be a separate pop up to congratulate you for getting 300 and hears some donuts.
You have a 1% chance to win 5 donuts by poping 3 balloons. ( you might get this )
And you have a 100% guarantee to get some donuts when you hit 300 games. ( you will get this )

Not to sound like a broken record, but you're still not getting the math right. I forgot about the delay in building SideShow You, so with the added 3 days there, the earliest anyone could have popped their 300th balloon is Sept 7 or 8. You couldn't be at 387 a week later (even going by Sept 5-6)... the most you could be at is 363. Which leads me to believe that if you're having this much trouble with the math, you probably didn't know the exact count if and when you hit donuts.

And from what I can tell, everyone who has gotten the 5 donuts recently has done so on their third balloon of that particular turn which would be the 300th balloon.

Funny you mentioned. Yes it was. I'm sorry I haven't read anything else on this thread. I take it that is how it works?

Well we are thinking that it could be right around this time that people should start popping their 300th balloon. and the 300th balloon would always be the last balloon popped

Yep... it simply can't be a coincidence that this many people are getting the 5 donuts on their 3rd tap around the exact time they'd be scheduled to hit their 300th tap.

Release date KL July 31 +3+33.33= Sept 5-6 to pop 300, obviously you don't know math. And I added the total day as of when I originally posted. And since I got 5 donuts on or about Sept 13 far after I got 300 balloons ( yes me not you not anyone else ) this is proof to you you do not get 5 donuts for poping 300 balloons.
A lot of people are getting thier 1% chance at 5 donuts. As have the few who posted the same thing several weeks ago, long before it was possible to have poped 300 balloons.
It's 300 games to win donuts see you on Nov 8 (100 days from July 31) for your bad math, and get the point this time.

Nope, you're still the one bad at math. Every post you've made has proven that (your first post in particular was such a mathematical blunder I cracked up). September 13 was not '"far after" your 300th balloon... that's mathematically impossible.

What is most likely to have have happened was that you delayed playing SSY enough over the course of the first 100 games that the 100th game (where you win the donuts) got pushed back by a few days to around September 13th. Which is the exact same thing that happened to me and everyone else that has won those donuts over the course of the past few days.

Delaying each new chance by 15 minutes over the first 99 games = an entire 24 hours added to the length of time it takes to get to the 100th game. And that's assuming that someone could keep it to a maximum of 15 minutes for the entire 99 times.

But please... keep trying to use math to prove yourself right. I need the laugh.

I did hit my 300th balloon today I think. Got my 5 donuts on the last pop a few hours ago...

After reading the entire thread, there is no doubt in my mind that everyone is hitting their 5 donut prize for popping 300 balloons now.
