So far I have got 2 alter egos and 2 b&b's, lesser prizes 1 pub and many 100k. I started my weekend with 220 stones, not too bad quite pleased and there is still 9 hours left I think but I need more stones!

Not bloody much Coins, energy, decorations. That's about it. Started with 1680 wish stones, down to 1330 so far, let each of my kids throw some to see if they had better luck. Gonna do that again in a bit. The only alter ego I have so far is Birthday Bash, so I am really hoping to get a bunch more

Started the weekend with about 3000 something stones, only thing worth mentioning is I got my third fire shrine. Nothing of great importance really.

Nothing, but then my well prizes didn't change, so I didn't throw any stones.

Exactly what happened to me. I needed a couple houses but the well never updated so I didn't throw anything in......kind of disappointing but oh well. They should have the shrines in there even if you already have three or put gems or something because I didn't have a thing to spin for.

I needed Hoppity Pop Fizz, he wasn't in the well. I closed the app, then opened it again & there he was, showing up as a top prize.

Grill Master Chop Chops house! I already had all alto ego's, spanked 700 in.

I threw about 700 stones also, only won lucky boomer, 3 shrines, 3 taverns, 2 fisheries, and the usual green ornaments..

I envy those who got 100k, is that tied up to the level? I'm just at level 30 and the highest gold I get is just 55k..

Yes, it's tied to the level. Your next top prize is 60,000, and then it jumps straight to 100,000 at Level 35 I think.

I threw about 800 stones hoping for the two alter egos I'm missing, Lucky Boomer and C. Flameslinger.
No luck, just junk, 3 more B&Bs (I don't need them, I'm level 40), 2 Cocoa stands (sold inmediately as they are useless) and 3 pink useless trees (the ones that give +10% XP).
Disappointed and angry at the fact that the only ways to win missing alter egos is by a very tiny chance in the wishing well or spending 1500 gems each.

Nothing, since I have no save. /sad But I didn't have too much it could have given me, though I wouldn't say no to some free huge housing.

I got 100,000 and assorted bits and bobs. Was hoping for Buddy Wrecking Ball (the only alt I don't have), or a special house.....like the Thumpback house that I didn't get!

I got flame slinger but not boomer. Maybe next well event I'll get him as he's the last alt I need. I threw all the stones I had in, but I didn't count. Probably about 550ish. I'm satisfied but not elated.

I didn't have any alter egos, so I'm pretty happy coming away with Birthday Bash and Surfer Slam Bam. I threw in about 150 stones (everything I had saved) and got those in my first 20 throws. After that nothing but trees, markers, and low gold prizes. Kinda wish I'd stopped throwing after Surfer Slam Bam and save up for next month, but I was hopeful

I got Hoppity Pop Fizz but random stuff after that for 400 stones. My wife and son got none, not sure how many they did.

My son had 120 wishing stones that he tossed in hoping for an alter ego or house, but the only top prizes he ended up getting were a Cocoa Stand and a Blossom Tree. Disappointing.

thanks for the info.. i appreciate it..

I started out really nice with Hoppitity Popp Fizz within the first 50 stones or so. Then a fire sculpture, 2 cacao stands, 3 B&B's and 3 taverns. Roughly 450 stones spent, and then they were all gone.
Not too bad, but not the best either. And not to forget a couple of 100.000 gold bags.

I am still waiting for a specialty house to win, but I guess that won't happen........ chances are very very slim I understand. Eh, I even have to wait for the first a shrine from the well.

I didn't win anything special but I have all the alts and houses.

What greatly concerns me is that I tossed in several hundred stones and only won taverns/fisheries/100k BUT at a much lower rate. I believe they had reduced the Top Prize chance from around 3 per 100 stones to 2 per 100 stones.

>>I am winning very little of anything since hitting 40. I wish alot so the drastic change is noticable. I don't know if this is a level 40 thing or they drastically reduced rates.

If this is what its going to be, I am going to start cautioning players not to invest gems in gaining more wishstones than they need as they will eventually hit a huge wall and become useless.

Keep in mind, a month ago I would have said stones were usefull because you win the B&B (I've won around 15). I am/was very happy blowing 100s of stones to win a B&B. If they odds are now 0.05% chance to win things, then the well is effectively useless.

I'm wondering if the odds weren't made worse for things like B&Bs and Fisheries during the wishing weekend to accommodate the alts being put back in the well. (I noticed the same reduction in odds that you did, and I'm not yet level 40.) Somebody with infinite stones might want to try throwing a couple hundred now that wishing weekend is over to see if things are back to normal.

Hrm thats not good news that you observed this too. I am always very cautious about observations around statistics but the change is pretty obvious.

What is worse is that I had noticed this prior to this weekend but then held off wishing since I started wondering if they might add something new to the well.

I've accumulated close to 2k stones and keep trying to win more BBs. Maybe I'll start dumping in 250 at a time and then jotting down my wins.

I too have either been having a string of bad luck with the wishing well, or the odds of top prizes has indeed been reduced.
And when you do win a top prized, it seems like the odds of winning a blossom tree have increased.

an undead shrine, no Lucky Boomer :'(

After my first ~500 stones with no alts (a couple of taverns, a lot of coins, a couple of stone houses), my oldest daughter got 2 alts in 20 stones, and my middle daughter got 2 alts in 10. My youngest is grumpy because she didn't win any, and beyond those 4 alts in 30 stones, there were no other significant prizes. (And between my kids, husband, and I, we threw in another ~400 stones after we got the 4 alts.)

Just in case any statistics geeks are curious

I threw 100 stones today and got...an egg basket. Though I have always had terrible luck.
