Yes! For the second time in less than two months I just hit the Jackpot. Feels good.
All I can say is that @Crazy Cat Lad new booster machine had better be good :)

You're talking about frequency and stuff but I believe it has nothing to do with that. It's most probably just RNG.
I disagree @Doondie the reason I post my jackpot is mostly so I don't forget when I have received it.
This has shown that every three to four weeks I get a jackpot. This shows that a random number generator isn't involved as rng's shouldn't deliver something with a discernible pattern.
Just like you I have noticed that the lollipop is always the last reward to be received from the Sweet Cinema, so that can't be down to 'chance' as you put it or a rng.
Similarly just last month there were loads of posts from people (including me) that had just won the jackpot from the Daily Treat Machine. Definitely not the workings of a RNG.
Hey dude,
You seem very enthusiastic about the Booster Wheel jackpot. I also got it a week ago. That's not why I'm writing though. ☺
You're talking about frequency and stuff but I believe it has nothing to do with that. It's most probably just RNG. Coming from an MMO computer game - TERA - that, very sadly, got shut down on its 10th anniversary (may Candy Crush be around for another 10 years! 😇), I've learned a thing or two about "chance".
This said, there's no frequency on a personal level. It's like percentage chance to get the jackpot. Say, 5% chance for it would mean guessing one out of 5 numbers among 100 numbers overall. It's like rolling a dice. The catch is if you get the jackpot today, that means, say, 100 other people won't get it, so things remain balanced as a whole, i.e. they aren't interested in giving the jackpot to too many people at once.
As for the wheel itself - it's just an animation to illustrate the result of what the server told your game. When you tap "Stop", your game sends a reward request (a packet) to the server. The algorithm almost instantly decides what reward you'll get and sends a reply to your game (another packet) which then makes the wheel stop at the pre-determined spot. At least that's how it worked with the computer game.
Of course, "chance" in CC could work differently. For instance, I've noticed that the final Sweet Cinema reward is almost always a lollipop hammer which is way, way too much of a coincidence.
Hope this helps. ☺
Hi! @Alienscar 😊 I won the wheel jackpot twice. I started to play this game at 17 July 2022. But have never won the treat machine jackpot yet.
Yes! Just shy of four weeks later hit the jackpot again. Better than nothing I suppose, but I wish the win rate was a bit higher.
Agreed @Rox7383 the 'chance' of winning a jackpot seems to be not a chance at all but a pre-programmed release schedule.
Treat machine jackpot was "given" recently to most of the players (if not all) last week. It was not by chance. May be some promotional scheme. One of my friend received it on at least three of his accounts and he has 4 or 5 accounts.
Yay three weeks after my last jackpot I have got another one. It is noticeable though how many people have posted to say they have received the Treat Machine and Booster Wheel jackpots.
@Spieler_8675309 Landed on that one ~17 or 18 times in nearly 3½ years
Well that is a pretty good average which is the point I am trying to make. The wheel seems less about chance and more about a programmed result.
Yep, got another one of those the other day.
Landed on that one ~17 or 18 times (something like that) in nearly 3½ years.
It's no big deal, keep playing (or maybe not)...
Well that is a nice surprise, Hopefully my average is back to once a month now instead of once every four months.
Woohoo looks like every four months is the new cycle of receiving a jackpot.
ah well, since it's gonna be deleted anyway...
@Alienscar This is why playing on PC is(/was) so beneficial:
And then on New Year's Day '22, it happened again: (😱)

Yes, at last it has been four months since my last jackpot. Ah well still more often than the Daily Treat Machine.
Hi @jsmith129xxSmith More than one treat at a time you say are you referring to the Treat Machine then? My screenshot is the Booster Wheel jackpot and as far as I know other than the jackpot it only gives out one treat a day.
I play every day and have not hit the jackpot. I have received more than 1 treat at a time. But just a couple of times
At last it has been a long time since I got my jackpot (July 11th). As mentioned previously I was actually aiming for a lollipop.
@Shivandhni would you say you have hit the jackpot more than once a month? If you have I would consider that very good.
I usually stop at the end of 4th round and have hit the jackpot few times
That's true! At some levels, they'll appear at the worst possible moment or at the worst possible place! 🙄 Still, I feel better having them in my inventory than not. For me, anything I get from the wheel or the daily treat machine is a plus!
⬆️⬆️⬆️
And another thing causing their unpopularity is even when they're pre-selected on levels, their appearances in 'em might be a bit too infrequent.
It's a corelation/causation kinda thing there, but that's another story...
