A few questions....Cleaning up Springfield....popping balloons.

I was curious if you still have a chance of winning donuts from cleaning up trash after you buy new land. I haven't gotten a donut from that in a looong time. If it is random...what are the odds?

Also...I won 5 donuts from popping balloons in krusty land. When did that start?

I've never got a donut from either of these things... :cry:

    i have received 6 or 7 donuts from cleaning the trash and i still have a lot left that i use as decorations.

    the donuts from the balloons has been there from the beginning.
    you get 5 donuts on your 300th balloon pop plus there is supposed to be a 1% change to get 5 donuts every time.

    I own every piece of land and have gotten two or three donuts. Nothing to brag about, that's for sure. I've never gotten donuts from the balloon game. I visited all 98 neighbors for the last three days and not a single donut. My mystery box has given me $250 for the last month. Whoopee.

    So....I guess ill go play the lottery before I can expect to get any more donuts from trash cleaning. I wonder if the trash I'm using as decoration has donuts?

    I'm also curious if moving it effects the outcome. Usually when I buy land I will move the trash to a different area.

    I had tons of trash used as decorations in my town. I had to clean up most of it when the Whacking Day item limit was imposed. I got not one donut from doing so, so maybe moving it had an effect. :hunf:

    It's all based on percentages... I think it's 2% chance on the trash. Must be the same as the ghost popping... I'm averaging over a donut a day from that, but some people haven't had one at all.

    I thine I read somewhere there was 3 of 4 donuts altogether and they been in the same spot for everyone...
    I may try to find it later if I will have a time

    I don't think moving it has an effect on donuts, as I cleaned some rubbish I'd already moved the other day and Homer found a donut in it :D

    I've found 2 so far, including that one.

    I got a donut cleaning trash yesterday, so yes there is still a chance.

    I have also got the 5 donuts from the Krustyland balloon pop game.

    The ghosts drop a donut every so often too.

    They seem to have made it realistic to get random donut drops now. You're not going to be getting them constantly or anything, but it's possible, unlike whacking day where I didn't get a single one.. :lol:

    I've probably received 1 donut and 5 from the balloons. I've actually gotten a donut or two while I'm collecting money. Can't complain :D
