Is there a precedent?

There was no money-grubbing wheel on whacking day or Halloween.

    Some wacking day prizes were put up for sale. I do not think this will be the case with xmas.

    No, but there were prizes some might not have reached. My question was if those were available.

    Oh, yeah, keep spinning or.....spend real money on it! After all that's its real purpose.

    I've decided not to spend a cent on that, if I get the prices fine if not its OK too.

    If we all do that, there won't be a repeat wheel in future updates. Unfortunatelly there are quite a few impatient players spending lots of donuts on it, so if it proves profitable for EA, we'll get it back and new players will have to pay and pay and pay.... all looking like it is a gift. Very clever!

    :(:(:(

    I don't even have Claus Co on my wheel :( does anyone know why that is? I thought based on the shape it was going to be the first community prize given-imagine my disappointment at the Christmas totem!

    NO. As far as I know. NO

    It will appear when you win other items, probably you have many to get, like all the house lights. etc.

    How do you get 4-5 free tokens a day?

    Sadly, I have purchased many donuts in the name of the wheel. An embarrassing amount.

    I would hate to miss my first building, but you can spend without limits.

    after you get to 30K gift cards, for every 1000 more you get a token. If you visit all 100 friends that is 3,000 gift cards meaning 3 spins. If you are exploiting the "send everyone" on a group task that is like 1500 more gift cards on if you do it on quest 18 you can do it continually every 8 hours meaning that you could in theory get 4500 more gift cards for a total of up to almost 7500 per day (plus you get presents dropped/use elves/etc)

    That is up to 7 spins per day

    everything from whacking day was eventually for sale for donuts. I can't speak to the Halloween stuff because I got all the gifts at Halloween.

    I'm sure everything you don't get will end up for sale after Christmas, EA has to make their money somehow (no snark just fact).

    There are people that have over 30,000 gift cards already? Wow...that's insane. That's a serious commitment.

    So we just get coins instead of donuts when we have all the prizes? That's too bad. I almost have everything from the wheel already. Just need the ice god statue and Helter shelter. Thanks for the info. That exploit seems pretty useful. I was doing that as much as possible with the other "group" tasks. This one seems a bit easier to utilize and much more effective.

    Once you win a prize on the wheel, it's replaced by another prize, which can be a special item, gift cards, or 1000 money. If, for example, you didn't get the house Christmas lights last year and your wheel is packed with them, you probably just need to win a few prizes and it'll pop up eventually.
