Congratulations on winning the puzzle AND reaching 15 MILLION lifetime tickets — what a week you’re having! You should buy a lottery ticket!
Here’s the secret – CHANCE (aka ODDS). The odds of winning DON’T change if you’ve won before, or even recently; that’s just basic logic. These are separate events, each with the same odds of winning as any other entry.
Before y’all think I’m part of this vast conspiracy, let me assure you I’ve been playing for many, many years (over 4 million lifetime tickets) with no wins. Yet I won the Daily Jigsaw Puzzle prize twice in about a month just last year (worth about $130 total). Pure dumb luck, plain and simple.
There is definitely a major problem with the HSN Arcade as a whole. I’d recommend people just play for fun and not expect to win a prize, but it’s difficult to enjoy the games when they’re messed up and don’t allow a player to achieve their best score. The Spin-to-Win game is hinky ~ the spins are not always smooth and often stop abruptly (in a non-winning position, of course). Sometimes the third reel will move one more spot after the others with two matching items have stopped, which is suspicious. In addition to those game issues, the points that are awarded for different games are all over the place, and not fairly determined or assigned. The points won are not a reflection of the score achieved, and do not increase respectively with the score. One major example is Today’s Special Jigsaw puzzle. I’m sure most people don’t get more than 200 points ~ regardless if you complete it in 5.5 minutes or 6.5 minutes (which convert to a score and then points). I’ve been trying to figure out the cutoff point to achieve more than 200 points ~ I think it’s under 5 minutes (and more than 4800 or 5000 for a score) ~ but I’ve only been able to do that once or twice, and I think I received 250 points, which is only 50 points more for moving really fast with the puzzle. Maybe someone else can add to this ~ if they know what the scale is or often achieve more than 200 pts. Most top scorers seem to be in the 4700 range on the ranking chart (if that’s accurate). I prefer not to be timed on puzzles like this one, and I think 200 pts. is pretty good compared to the other games, but if I get the puzzle done in under 5 minutes, I would like to be rewarded for that. I think even 5.5 min. is really good and should award more than 200 pts. That’s just one example ~ all the other games that I’ve played have a very messed up scoring/point system and don’t reward the appropriate points. However, points don’t really seem to matter, anymore, since there isn’t much to spend them on, so ~ whatever… 🙄

@leste49, I did not see your name listed on the winners page for the today’s special puzzle. Why did you think you had won?
Posted in Forum: HSN ArcadeI received an email saying I earned $98 in spendableKash for playing the daily puzzle. I have played it for a couple of years now and enjoy putting the puzzle together. But, my computer is giving me a message saying it will no longer support flash player after December. Oh so sad not to play puzzle. Hopefully, the other games will play for me. Winning Kash was an unexpected perk.
