I spent 500 STARS this weekend...

KatieBearCooper

AND DIDN'T WIN ANY EVENT PRIZES 😢😢😢
I mean, I got the outfit that came with spending that many STARS, but I didn't get the jump suit/glasses/hair/shoes. I got so many 4,000 dollar boxes that I'm seriously discouraged. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is it normal?

This seriously scares me and why I don't want to spend stars. I always get this stuff happening too me. ��

Oh wow that sucks! I guess that it depends on how much luck that you have at the moment opening up the weekend event gifboxes.

Mathematically it is possible. How many boxes did you purchase? I'm assuming the entire 500 Stars wasn't just in giftboxes. Did you buy 3 boxes at a time, or did you buy one, collect it, then buy your next one on a different table of boxes?

I've read from successful 'guessers' that you should do 3 boxes at a time, but after one run of 3, you should wait before starting another one. I've tried that since, and it does seem to help a little.

I'm sorry you went through that..

I bought a new one each time that I didn't win 40 STARS back. Buying 3 at a time would have been a good idea though. Maybe I'll try again when they release an outfit/hair that I like as much as this one. Thanks for the tip!

EDIT- 470 were on gift boxes.

You're not alone, I quite recently spent about 1400 KStars chasing gift box items and more than half the time there wasn't even a gift box item inside. In fact, this weekend was the same thing! Talk about probability?! I guess some people have really great luck, with either getting items in their free box or as minimal as possible. Not for me, oh I sound sour lol.

Oh wow...that's A W F U L! I would want to scream. I've spent that many K stars on just the gift boxes during a VIP weekend but I've always won most of the Event items.
You definitely need to open three boxes from each grouping as it increases your odds of getting the event boxes. Don't open your groups of 3 back-to-back. Complete a gig or date between each group of boxes. Also, pay attention to the location of the events items in your boxes as they tend to reappear in that box. Also, look at the images others post of their group of boxes. Sometimes you'll notice a trend of where the Event stuff is located. None of this is full proof but sometimes it helps.

You should post a comment in both the "remove the 4000 Kash box" thread AND the "suggestions" thread.

Ouch. But, if you enjoyed it, then it was worth that. I got better with gift boxes when I started following that advice. It makes sense and helps the odds a little. Good luck next time.

I'm sorry that happened to you Katie! Ugh, I know the feeling. I spent 720 stars chasing the coat/dress during Andre's weekend and never got it. i swore off spending k stars for months after that, I was so angry.
