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.
