Why, why, why could you not just give a clear, straight forward answer to the question asked? Your answer implies reaching 5 star is worth 190k which it is not. Beast payouts are not part of the reward program so please don't try to make the reward system sound better than it is.

5 star is worth about 100k. Just look at the link WPN rep provided and subtract beast winnings. Its pretty straightforward.

Or you can look at this link that's been provided many times over the forums. Hitting 1MM BPs is worth 98.6k.

Wow so vegetables was the only player to get 5 star? The other two players the article mentioned who were on pace didn't close it out?

Wonder who they were...

Congrats Yummy! That's a serious accomplishment.

I didn't make it

Finished up with 800K for the year.

I thought about going for it mid-November...but would have had to play 16 hours a day, only being able to take off for X-mas and T-Giving.

Sooooooo I tried and hit the mark about 2 weeks in a row...then found myself crying at my keyboard due to unhappiness of grinding 16 hours a day lol. So I stopped. Onto 2016
