I have over a million dollars so I burned $100,00 for the three donuts. This got me thinking, would you spend $100,00 for one donut? The answer is of course everyone would.It takes me about a day to earn give or take $100,000 to $120,000 (no house farming). So that would be roughly a donut a day. So if I needed 30 donuts for an item, it wold take me a month. This would be a good thing because it would assure EA that I would be continuing to play for that month and not lose interest in the game. And during that month, maybe I buy a scratch-r or two, maybe I get a friend to sign up and play. It would be to EA's advantage to want me to play for that month to strive for that donut goal.I wouldnt pay a days income (ish...I reckon I turn about 130-150K per day including tasks) for a donut.To buy them with real money, 900 work out at 3.9p each; If I buy a boat load of 2400, then they work out at 2.9p each!!I have 933 donuts ready to squander on halloween.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

if i earnt that much in a day i would. but i only everage around $50k as i can only play once every 12 hours

I definitely would (and do if I do not get 3 donuts on the bonus level), but if EA did allow us to do this it would overly benefit the longer term players to have millions of dollars (I have seen some with 20mil and more). They are also generally the ones who tend to purchase donuts, so EA would be losing some of their money. That said, anything EA can do to get people to try donuts is a good thing (sampling sells). I know for me, I did not want to start using real money to purchase donuts on a "free" game until I had glitches where I got thousands of free donuts. It is a slippery slope and after those free ones I was hooked buying boatloads after that.

Based on the idea that out of 3 boxes you can win 3 doughnuts, and that if you don't get it the first time then you have the option to try again twice for $50,000 each shot. I would pay $100,000 for 3 doughnuts but not one. Then again who am I kidding, doughnuts are doughnuts and I always want more.

Thinking about it..... as a maximum it is 100K for 3 donuts...... Tap once for free..... if you win the three then woo-hoo!Buy a second tap for 50K.....win the three then you have paid 50K for 3 donuts.Buy a third tap for another 50K and definitely get the 3 donuts for a total outlay of 100K.If the odds are fair, then you should hit three donuts 1 time out of 3 on the first tap. Even assuming it takes you the full 3 taps to find the three on the other 2 times, you are still paying on average 200K for 9 donuts.... I suppose around 22,222 game dollars per donut is not too bad!hmmmm.....I never thought of it like that before!

would you pay $100,000 for 1 donut?

Using your scenario, you would average 2 'free' donuts each time for a total of six. So you're really paying 200K for 3 donuts (assuming the rest of your scenario is accurate).

100k for 3 donuts is more reasonable. But not for 1

Besides, EA would never do this. So this topic is going on deaf ears
