This in a nutshell as the last two items are so tempting to acquire.

I want the grand prize cuz I still need respect for things.... And it has awesome stats

Just got 7 on camper account. Still on 6 on main.

Only have 4 paintings. These crates are hard to open. Please try again!

Sunday 16:30 Mountain
I have 6/10 on my main account with intention of spending up to 90 on gold opens if I make it to 8 on cash (Accidentally advanced timer once, so it'd put me over 100 for the gold bonus item)
I have 8/10 on my second account, if I make it to 10/10 with only cash opens then I may switch devices and purchase Goodfella status for that account instead. It is catching up to my main account anyway--they are in the same tier: LV86 v LV99. I still wonder if the level at the start of the event is factored into the success rate?

used gold to open 2 per hour, got 10th piece and prize after 25 hours and 1000 gold.

stuck with 9th...could be like that for a few days...I've opened with gold since 8th and did 5-6 resets (frustration after stupid 10k$). I'll stay cool and open hourly, 10th item will eventually show up

Just got my 9th item with all cash opens but I'm not confident in getting the 10th one.

Here is another 9'th item.....

I am sure there will quite a few of us who will venture into overtime on this one... Final prize is very clearly targeted at campers....+5 respect on every (laundromat) robbery - yeah this is the one we want

still stuck on 8 th painting last paintng was 20 boxes tries ago.

Either I'm extremely lucky or something, but I managed to score the 10th painting moments ago. Got 1 fail and a security baton after the 9th and expecting to see another big fat fail or some crappy item (considering the final necessary item has 2% chance of appearing), I get this screen.

All cash opens too. Damn, well looks like I got the next 2 days or so to continue opening for either more crappy items or cash. I hope everyone else has some magnitude of success for this event.

After being 3 behind my main, my camper has overtaken @ 9/10 all cash opens. Day 2 and 3 have been dry I'm really lucky to have today off work.
It's really down to luck whether I get the last item but i'm not panicking yet.
