You know everybody is complaining all the time about that wheel. Don't. It is just like gambling, sometimes you win, most of the time you lose. Be thankfull for what you do get. Do you really think they make a wheel easy to win? ofcourse not. You have to try and trie and try... Thats the game.

I missed out on a lot of characters and building, because I didn't play all the time until 2 months ago, am I opening 200 topics about that? No. Because that's te game. You win, you lose. Simply said.

You're describing two different things. The prizes you didn't receive in the past were due to your own lack of effort/interest in the game. The people who haven't won all the wheel prizes yet are still putting in effort but are being stymied by some ridiculously long odds. We all expect to see these kinds of odds when winning donuts because that's money out of EA's pockets, but these are limited time free prizes that can't be obtained through any other means. Some of these people have spent real money in effort to try and win them.

THANK YOU What he does not realize is we have spent money on this in hopes of getting all the prizes and frankly if you spent any money on the wheel all prizes should be awarded. I have over 102k Gift cards and i have given up I HAVE put Enough effort in on my part to get the Free/Limited Items i should have not had to pay a cent. But i wanted the prizes and the way the wheel has been working which is a game of chance.

Just start locking all of them, like you do Josh's. Problem solved.

I would really love to see you expand on this point and explain precisely why it would be statistically impossible. Given the fact that any individual spin is statistically more likely to land on cash than every other slot put together, it seems as if 20 in a row -- while certainly bad luck -- would be well within the realm of statistical possibility.

I like how your first sentence there raises a possible question, but then you immediately answer it in the next sentence.

Yes, they are trying new methods to get people to spend money on the game. Well done, detective.

There is nothing worse than seeing a post by someone with that badge of clearing the wheel tell you to move on from getting screwed over.

The wheel is bullcockey and I refuse to spend another second farming gift cards to earn the chance to spin the godforsaken wheel and win another 1000 bucks. My last TWENTY spins have all landed on 1000 bucks. This is a statistic impossibility. Fudge this noise. i'll be back in mid January.

It is not a statistic impossibility. Each $1000 has a 20.22% chance, meaning a total of 60.66% chance of getting cash. Each spin is unique, the fact that you get cash 19 times in a row has no effect on the next spin, it still has a 60% chance of being cash (think of a coin flip, if you get heads, the next flip could still be heads).

Granted the odds of 20 consecutive cash spins is therefore (0.6066)^20 which is an extremely low probability, but still possible.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not pleased with the wheel results either, I've gotten all cash the last week, with a couple gift cards sprinkled in, but that's the game of probability. I like math lol

I feel your pain. It happened to me too. All I needed was the yeti guy and I wanted him. I was doing 3 spins a day (free coin, and I'd get 2 from the gift cards) and I had been clear of everything else for at least a week. It was playing with me too. It would look like it'd stop on him but then it'd land on cash or cards. Then two days ago it finally landed on him. So I say don't give up, you're bound to get what you want. It's gambling and the more you put in it the better chance you have of winning.

+1,000,000,000

Figured the ones who have cleared it would be up for that.
