There is DEFINITELY some funny business going on with donut bonus selections.

Out of the usual one, two or three donut bonus, I got ELEVEN single donut "worst prizes" in a row. The odds of this happening by chance if there were truly a fair one-in-three shot are 1/3^11, or about one in 177,147. Not only that, but this keeps happening REPEATEDLY - not quite so many in a row, but almost always NOT the one-in-three chance you would expect.

Thoughts?

    Try this; place your thumb over the camera lens before you go to tap. I’m sure that they are watching you and shift the boxes as you go to tap. If they can’t see what you are doing your odds should go up.

    Who's to say that they aren't ALL the same number?
    IOW no matter which one you tap first, it will show what all 3 are.

    :lol Yep. The idea that if only I'd picked a different box I would've got the 3 donuts is hard to shake.

    Please, not another one of these threads again. To make a long story short, and after many rounds of bonuts, nobody has been able to find a pattern. It truely does seem to be random.
