    LOL.

    Worst. Luck. Ever.

    Must be the Saint Paddy's good luck hang over or something.

    I've done that, did the whole mystery box, Buddha and then something lame....like parking lots. I've said it elsewhere, all I ever get out of mystery boxes are a parking lot. One...single....parking lot....sheesh...thanks EA!

    Oh so I don't feel like a complete mystery box loser, sometimes on a rare occasion I will be gifted with a hedge. One....single....hedge.

    Lately I've just been getting $250.

    Best thing I ever got was the lemon tree.

    LOL no, our 10-year old was so upset. He actually played his game for 2 months before he was finally given the lemon tree. The mystery box reeeeeaaaallly doesn't like his town.

    Oh bummer! I figured the Lemon Tree was the one "cool thing" they gave you to try and make you want to buy more.

    HA!

    Welcome to my parking lot nightmare, the place where it is nothing but parking lots as far as the eye can see. Just imagine, I've been playing since the first week in October and that is one mystery box a week. I got a lemon tree once and then it's been nothing but parking lots....for months!!

    And every now and then a hedge but mostly parking lots, I sell them. I do not need or want more parking lots.

    After the 3 week downtime in September ( if people remember the downtimes all the time) when it came back online I got 10 donuts every time for 2 months worth of mystery boxes then an update came and .. A tree, Parkin space, a hedge. Waste of time mystery boxes, 5 days of playing and a tree worth £100. I wouldn't mind something expensive so I can sell for money if I didn't want it.

    That is the best thing you can get from a misery box!

    Unfortunately :mrgreen: I wish they added better content to these things and removed the garbage like trees and parking lots

    I've been playing since august last year and all I get is what has already been mentioned like carpark,trees etc. Only time I EVER got anything good was when I spent donuts on homer buddha and got Squeeky voice teen, I think it was a carrot to get me to buy another, I did a few times and seems to just give white picket fence,it's a scam, that's why I don't bother and it's a sign to me not to waste any REAL money on this game, pure joke

    I feel like a 10 yr old, whine whine but I have no lemon tree. I must have the worst luck ever. I have been playing since September.

    You've been playing since September!!!!! That's rough, that's the same time as me, if not earlier. The problem is you can only get he lemon tree from Mystery Boxes I think??? but when themes such as valentines are introduced, it means you have to wait for those to be over before you can try again, or spend donuts. Here's hoping one comes your way soon.

    Thank you jaffaface. Do you think I should try
    buying some mystery boxes? I got a parking lot
    yesterday so I am starting to think I just may be
    the unluckiest ever. I even asked EA to give me one after
    i got stuck at Christmas and had to erase my ipad to
    play the game (pre-harp glitch.) of course that didn't
    Work....

    I got lemon tree and 30 donuts once :)

    I think if you are getting the Homer buddha from the box then you should keep it for some time and open at a later time (maybe after reloading the game). Because I never got mistery box from homer buddha when bought for donuts :)
