Okay, with any of the auto players the only one that really has shown me a 100% winning rating at any time was the BB.  So I was wondering with the Matchmaker program if I left it on and won a big prize would it know I was using that?   Since it doesn't win every game you aren't showing high numbers of winning games.  I was just wondering what it is that they track to find out that we are using these programs?   Because since using BB I figure it would throw me out of the running if (I know big laugh) I ever did win.

Dream Faerie,

Pogo changed the announcements. It used to only announce the jackpot winners in the same game. Now it announces all winners in all games.


Ohhhh OK, NOW it makes more sense, Thank you for the information Bob. As usual, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!! O0

Theres been a buttload of winners & not just in sweet tooth, I have seen, Pop Fu, Canasta, Sweet Tooth, Tri Peaks & Squelchies, just in the last hour.... I wonder why the sudden winning streak

Remember that almost all of these announcements are for the small prizes not the jackpots. They give out more smaller prizes than jackpots. :)

Right, But I have never see as much as I have seen this past week lol

Just so nobody feels too bad that they are not winning when "everyone else" is. I noticed about 5 winners per hour when there were about 250,000 people playing on Pogo.

If one does the math, one sees Pogo is giving out one prize for about every 50,000 hours of play.


Duhhhh...  :P
*slap myself*
Oh! *clears throat*
I don't think that plethora of hours theory is effective. No offense.

I suggest playing games that you can easily get jackpot spins like Word Whomp and Turbo 21 with the autos, of course.

If you happen to be one of my most die-hard customers and play Pogo 19 hours a day every day, you will play 50,000 hours of Pogo every 7 and a half years. If you are one of my more moderate die-hards who plays only 16 hours a day every day, it will take closer to 9 years.

Of course, if you only play at work for 40 hours a week, it will take 25 years to complete 50,000 hours of play.

I suggest to everyone just play. Get your badges. Keep in contact with your friends. And most importantly, have fun! If you win a prize, that's an extra rosette on the icing on the cake.
