I am a pretty friendly person and I don't mind helping people with badges, but it really does amaze me when someone comes into a room and just expects to be taught how to play. Like, it is okay for everyone else to spend time reading and learning, but their time is too valuable or something?? lol Count me in with the people who like QQ. I think i'm pretty good at it too. Doesn't mean I wasn't a complainer during the infamous QQ badge debacle. lol Janice #44 – Thank you!

I love these challenges and the 10 jp spin was easy to get in less than an hour. I got a jackpot spin each round, except for one, since my streaks usually end up being 75 - 80. I'm usually doing the probability and odds of moves so absent-mindedly, which I'll congratulate to OCD. Heh. I used all three of my personal badges on Tri-Peak Solitaire, considering that was a game I didn't play too often and have started getting into it once again.

Even gave my DH some pointers on it after I got the hang of it. I know everyone here hates complainers, but I had never played QQ before. Right now I have a streak of 12 games played, most of them got me to the middle level, with NO jackpot spins. I have to say, that is pretty frustrating. I'm burned out! Between tonight and yesterday, when I did manage to get the top row one time (I usually end up with 800-950 tickets), I have 3 of 10 jackpots and have put in probably four hours. I mostly chose the middle prize based on advice here. I like a challenge, but this is just... WTH. Based on chance I should have gotten at least a few spins. My DH got mostly middle row too (and no top row), and he says he finished the badge in about an hour. Please tell me this is not a typical experience for QQ. Just my incredible bad luck? Does it help to stop and start over in another room? I wish there were some kind of booby prize for getting more than ten games in a row with no jackpot spins! Just something to keep the unlucky player going. I'm looking forward to choosing my extra badges this week. Usually I like to complete the regular weekly ones first, but not sure about this week!

In Quick Quack you can get extra tickets for getting rainbow streaks, king ducks, half a dozen of one number, number order, and clearing all the ducks. Try to get at least 1000 tickets, you'll get a spin for sure. Wow, alot of badges to get this week.

With that said, a week or so after the challenge, it came out in a Letters to the Editor that it violates Pogo's TOS. Whether or not you care is up to you, but you should probably read the editor's comments before you make your decision.

You are very welcome and I'm glad my post helped! Payday Freecell is a different kettle of fish!!! lol I know how to play that one but don't win everytime....I have to concentrate too hard...lol Tigger #26. If you get the top line of prizes to choose from you are guaranteed a jp spin. Thats the only line of prizes that isn't a gamble. Cookie2636. You are very welcome and I’m glad my post helped!

My only problem is I have finished all my albums, and have ranked out in RDS. I am working on ranking out in Bingo Luau, so I did all my personals for that game. I have 42 jps left to rank 50. I am a firm believer in READING THE INFO on the game if I do not know how to play it. I do not go into a room and ask the group "How do you play this game" unless I have read the game info and still don't get it. (this has happened 1 time and that was Lottso Express) I didn't get all the extra stuff. Happy Halloween everyone..be good to the treaters and tricksters. As far as the challenges this week..awesome.
