    Yes I did, and I got 2 gates, 2 egg piles, Kodo and pink and blue eggs. Total waste of donuts!!! Listen up EA.... On my honor this is the last time I use precious donuts for wheel spins, chance rolls and crap I can't win.... Grrrrrrr. So much sour bitter grapes right now. I'm such a sore loser.

    I repeated many times during the beginning of the player that many freemium players are not projected to receive 50 fences by the end; but, the forum trolls kept on insisting "You can't judge until the last day!!" and "What is this voodoo magic you call math?"

    On the first day of the event, I bought one Mark I egg generator, and two Mark II generators.

    That's roughly 200 donuts right there and I was unable to finish (never got Hugs Bunny, nor Shary Bobbins) (I *did* get four Kang topiaries, but not the Kodos one.)

    Ain't gonna spend money on EA's lottery. I'd rather use the money on megabucks or powerball tickets. The odds are probably better and winning cash is better than winning a few colored pixels

    I guess it depends how often friends drop eggs and how many you get in your Springfield - I got 52 fences without spending donuts but I had a fair amount of baskets, and played nearly every 2 hrs to get farm carrots with witch marge. With how long it takes to get gold eggs getting bad prizes makes the whole deal a let down.

    I was tempted to by spend donuts on 4550 gold eggs to get the last two gold items I need, Father Sean and Shary Bobbins, but then I thought, what would annoy me most - not getting the two characters or spending 50 donuts and still not getting them anyway?

    So I'm saving my donuts and learning to live with the fact that I won't have Father Sean or Shary Bobbins running around my SF.

    I think I'm getting over it already. :lol:

    This, exactly. I got the Banana Directorship, the Blocko Store and Father Sean. All I want of the remaining is Shary, but I'm not spending 50 donuts to get a bunch of junk instead. I'm happy enough, and spent no real $$ on this event.

    I would predict, that after buying a truckload of gold eggs, that I will get only 6 of the 8 fences I need, some pink (common) eggs, and a couple more gates :lol: I'll let you know once I've bought them.
    Ha ha. So it went:

    250 Blue Eggs
    300 Gold Eggs
    Kodos Topiary
    Easter Gate
    Pastel Fences
    250 Pink Eggs
    Pastel Fences
    250 Pink Eggs
    Pastel Fences.

    Pretty much exactly what I expected. That was fun... But it did put me on a bit of a box spree.

    Pink - Beach Towel
    Blue - 300 Gold Eggs
    Gold - 250 Blue Eggs
    Blue - Easter Fence ( over 50, yaay!), 300 Gold Eggs
    Gold - 250 Blue Eggs
    Blue - Flippin' Egg Pile.

    And that's me done. Hmm.

    I think I won't. Spending 50 donuts for just 9 measly boxes doesn't worth it IMO. Not to mention that odds are likely to give me something useless (again) like a gate. :(

    Be warned, I spent over 200 donuts and didn't get any premium stuff, same as many others. The odds don't change, just so you know. Anyways, good luck. I hope you fare better than I did.

    i broke down and spent 25 donuts on gold eggs trying to get the last 2 elusive items. I regret it. Time to put the event into the past and move on!

    Yeah, it's pretty hard to do. My husband is 2 fences away though (48/50) and he played freemium. I played premium (~200 donuts spent) and I got to 50 awhile ago.

    I've been debating spending myself. I'm 100 eggs away from opening a gold at the moment. My last spin out of the blue box (my uncommon) was a pond so now I don't know if it's worth it. I'm still trying to win a playable character out of the gold box. I wouldn't even consider it if I had one.

    I'm debating whether to drop donuts. I thought I might go for some pink eggs (uncommon color) because I needed Blocko and figured I'd probably get gold eggs along the way.

    However, I just won Blocko - finally! - so I won't go for more pink eggs.

    Let's see what happens between now and tomorrow. If I wake up and there's no extension, I might gamble with gold...

    I am not buying any more. I spent way too much to begin with. I bought 150 donuts worth of gold eggs when they became available last week. I got Sheri bobbins on the 9th box, but I still haven't received Father Sean nor Kodos. Just not worth it at this point. I spent more prior to the gold eggs on this event, buying baskets and I bought crazy cat lady. It's just that I can't see putting any more time nor effort nor money into this game at this point. For the last month, I have worked tirelessly at this event to get very little in return. It is not like the previous events where there were effort-based prizes with only a few chance-based prizes. This time, all are chance-based. After a while of getting only ponds, trees and fences, it gets very uninspiring and not worth it.

    I bought two bundles of gold eggs for 100 donuts. The only reason I did it is because I bought coins at a discount and then received 50% back when I bought my donuts. It makes me feel better that I got more for my money. Anyways, bought a third bundle today and got Father Sean. With about 5 hours left, I decided to spend another 50 (total 200). On my first spin, I got Sherry Bobbins and on my second spin I got Hugs Bunny. Got lots of fences and gates on this event. Only thing I didn't get was Bart Jr lizard, but no biggie. I guess I'll have to spin to see how many more Kangs I can get (7 so far) because I never got Kodos either. Maybe EA changed the chances and is handing out the premiums now. Good luck.

    Yes. I'm at 37 pink boxes and no blocko store yet so might do it. At the same time thanks to visiting neighbors, leveling up and the sucking out quest I have gotten 70 free donuts during this "event".

    Changed my mind. Didn't get the blocko store with my last pink box, got a beach umbrella instead. Oh well, not sure where to put new buildings anyways.
    Not going to spend any donuts on this event. I'm good with that. Also if the next event is like this I'm going to scale back and not grind like I had been. I'm just here to have fun, this wasn't fun.
