that is no way that I would try to claim a jackpot.. Like Tara just said, to many badges to try and get when you get busted over money that you are not going to get anyways. You don't think that pogo is NOT going to go over your account if you win 5 grand?  :))

Not if I wasn't using one when I hit.   O0  And what the "hey" if you get banned.  I'd try it for $4999.99.

I have to say, I'd try it too.  5 grand is a lot of money.  $39 to start a new name because I got banned?  Not so much. 

;)

I wouldn't even try to claim it.  I don't want to start all over on my badges...lmao  I'm serious because I know I wouldn't get it.

I know that your auto can be detected if you claim a JP, but wouldn't Pogo be suspicious that you didn't claim it? Who would honestly put down a $4,999 JP? So it makes you wonder if they still look at your account if you didn't.
LOL, I already thought about what they would think if you didn't claim the JP. I figured I would need a good reason, so here's mine:
" Due to my personal and deeply held religious beliefs, I cannot participate in gambling. Playing on Pogo becomes gambling when actual money is involved. Thank you for the games you provide. Sincerely,
                                                                 Me"
( This is total BS, of course.)
That's my speech and I'm sticking to it should hell ever freeze over and my little JP spinner stick on the $$$. LOL. Trouble is, I really AM lucky and win quite a lot of great stuff, including international vacations through a legitimate and free  Internet sweepstakes list site.. Sometimes I have worried that I might actually win SOMETHING from Pogo, but the feeling subsides quickly.

Oh, sheesh! Come stand by me a few times and hopefully it'll rub off into my good fortune!

id love to see the number of jackpots that were given to made up members just to make it seem like they pay out more.

You bet your buns if I hit the JP I would certainly claim it auto or not.   ;D  I'd make them prove I was using an auto when I hit it.   0:

And you don't think they can?  ::)

I'd probably be the only one who wasn't happy if I won that much and used an auto and had to turn it down. I'd probably risk trying to get it because sometimes they might slip up and not see something on your name.  ??? I'm sure it's possible, but not very likely.

for someone to see if your running an auto they would need your IP #...and then access into your computer..which nowadays is pretty difficult because nobody can get into your comp unless you LET them. (i.e. running that suspicious program from an email) and even then its rare. thats the only way they can see it. i mean lets look at the facts..
pogo cant see if your using an auto..how would a member? pogo looks at logs of suspicious gameplay..
plus if you REALLY wanted to you could email pogo about him saying he can see you using an auto...because it would be invasion of privacy..then you can sue...and that sure beats a jackpot  :/\

seeing as im sure you didnt give him any of your personal info and he just randomly selected you...he's full of it.

I would love to see the dollar amount of jackpots that POGO has NOT paid out.  I bet it is in the millions.

It's kind of like Best Buy.  Usually the cheapest items with the mail in rebate.  Without the rebate, the most expensive.

But they just came out and said that 90% of their customers do not mail in the rebate.

Their profits are banked on people not sending them in.  If everybody sent in the rebates they would go bankrupt within 3 months
