Hey crash same thing happened to me this is pokerstars response :
Thank you for your interest in PokerStars January Daily Challenges.

1 Dollar spin and go for the trouble haha at least they given something and who knows you might get the $2 prize pool or the big one but don't hold your breath as spin and go a luck box thing to get the big prize and if you lose you get nothing! So fingers crossed for another one, i think they will do it as there are lots of players waiting, anyway peace out guys have fun at the tables, they make the challenge without proper planning!

the $1.00 spin n go ticket doesn't seem like much, but it's prob, more then i would have won in the tournament, so i'll take it, also it may just seem like a buck, but how much is it going to cost stars . $50-$60K or more. so it's a good jesture on their part

it is 100.000$ prize-pool 1st place gets 10K
i rather take my shot in there , better than this pathetic 1$ spin-go , see if it was SNG/MTT ticket it would have been better but we all know this spin-go is an all-in fest especially the low ones and most of the time the prize is 2$ so basically i got 33% chance to win 2$ which is the smallest prize in the tournament

Well that sort of turned out alright after all crash... The chances of cashing in one of those Shootouts is very slim,...and even slimmer to get any serious cash out of them,...although, it IS the serious cash that you hope to win...
I would say you stand a better chance of more cash in your pocket the way it turned out...
I see an Al Canuckistani took 2nd place earlier today for a cool $600 I think it was...!
For F**k sake, really? One dollar....damn it i wanted the entry even if it's under 1/8 chances to wni anything i like the adrenaline rush but not in bingo(spin & go) i hate PS now

If it was a $100K MTT with 60K players, then the buyin was worth $1.66, so a $1 ticket is not great, but it's not terrible either.. I mean, it's worth 60% of the prize you lost, so it's kinda crappy, but it's not like you totally go screwed, they swapped $1.60 for $1.
Buying into a $1 SNG is not less valuable than buying into a huge-field, $1 MTT btw. Just like buying $1 worth of lottery tickets is not more valuable than placing $1 on the roulette wheel.

what jess said- you got $1 for $1.60, you can try to contact stars about this- maybe they will add another ticket just because they will be amazed by the fact that some of their customers know a thing or two bout math. or you can ask to throw out say... russians from the tournament since they already won every major tourney on stars
Well, must be a lot of bitchin' since they put up another 100k shootout for february 3rd and I guess this is also for those who cleared at least 10 challenge from this month. Am I wrong into thinking that this is another added tourey for this, or is it's just a completely other thing?

after countless of hate email they received from me and others pokerstars apparently decided to open a new tournament rather than paying 1$ ticket i am automatically registered in this one , it has so far 20 K players still 2 weeks , i think this one also will have between 40k and 50k players there is big cash , hopefully the luck will be on our side

Don't forget be happy and enjoy life
thanks man i really don't think i was the reason but i guess lot of us spoke about this because you simply can't advertise something and get people hopes up , then change the rules
i don't think i will win something big but i like the adrenaline rush that i might just open pokerstars and find 10.000 $
good luck to you also my friend and have a nice day
