Homer Buddha

Nope. You usually get fences or potted plants. When I spend my donuts I like knowing what I'm buying. I got a homer budda inside a mystery box yesterday and got a burning bush. There might be a good deal this weekend if you wait.

    I have 80 donuts, am a freemium player and wondering... Is it worth it to buy a few Homer Buddha's?
    Or mystery boxes?
    Is it likely to get a good prize? Something worth more than the 15 donuts?

    Short answer: no.
    Long answer: nooooooooooooo. :P

    Odds are you'll be short-changed from whatever you get, ESPECIALLY for the Mystery Box.

    (Copy& paste of odds as you can't post links here.)

    HOMER BUDDHA
    *Mystery Box 9.98% (6 donuts)
    *Bench 10% (10 donuts)
    *Planter 10% (10 donuts)
    *Dumpster 10% (10 donuts)
    *Picket Fence (x10) 10% (10 donuts)
    *Orange Tree 10% (15 donuts)
    *Apple Tree 10% (15 donuts)
    *Burning Bush 10% (20 donuts)
    *Tree Swing 10% (20 donuts)
    *Squeaky Voice Teen (30 donuts if you already have) 4% (30 donuts)
    *Hans Moleman (60 donuts if you already have) 4% (60 donuts)
    *Frink's Lab (150 donuts if you already have) 1% (150 donuts)
    *30 Donuts 1%
    *Tire Fire (40 donuts if you already have) 0.01% (40 donuts)
    *Springfield Sign (170 donuts if you already have) 0.004% (170 donuts)
    *Duff Brewery (190 donuts if you already have) 0.002% (190 donuts)
    *Volcano Lair (200 donuts if you already have) 0.001% (200 donuts)

    So 90% chance of a decoration you could buy anyway, and 70% chance of your prize being 15 donuts or less you paid for the Buddha.


    MYSTERY BOX
    *Mystery Box 10.983% (6 donuts)
    *Lemon Tree ($250 if already acquired) 10% (only from MB prize)
    *Parking Lot 10% ($175)
    *Brown Fence 10% ($270)
    *Tree 10% ($ depends on tree)
    *Large Hedge (3) 10% ($975)
    *Newspaper Dispenser 10% ($325)
    *Picket Fence (x3) 4% (3 donuts)
    *Gazebo 4% ($5,600)
    *Angel Topiary 4% ($2,000)
    *$1,000 4%
    *Premium Bench (with towel) 4% (6 donuts)
    *$500 4%
    *10 donuts 2%
    *Squeaky Voice Teen (30 donuts if you already have) 2% (30 donuts)
    *Homer Buddha 1% (15 donuts)
    *$2,500 0.01%
    *30 donuts 0.004%
    *Tire Fire (40 donuts if you already have) 0.002% (40 donuts)
    *Lard Lads 0.001% (110 donuts)

    So 85% chance of something you could buy for in-game cash anyway (including winning another MB). Only a 5% chance of getting something >6 donuts you paid for the MB.

    You get a Mystery Box for every 5 consecutive days you play anyway, so DEFINITELY not worth it.
