yep i agree,
40,000 food/iron/stone etc is nothing to players who are getting 150,000-200,000 per hour from their farms/mines/etc. and 20,000 is just a joke.
40,000 is a lot for a new player but why should long time players get screwed by having something like that on the wheel when its worthless to them.

I`ve noticed that the item you will get is decided or determined at the moment you click "apply" on the amulet window. The wheel spinning is just window dressing it`s just for show.
I clicked "apply" on the amulet window and when the spin wheel window opened it said I had 30 cents,even though I actually had no cents. Well guess what the wheel stopped on? yep 30 cents,that has happened twice to me. The wheel knew I was going to win 30 cents before it even started to spin.
