If you're worried about not getting all the prizes: Make sure you've started:
 * No Laughing Matter Pt. 5 (act 1 questline)
 * Fair-Weather Father Pt. 5 (act 2 questline)
 * In the Lukewarm of the Twilight Pt. 5 (act 3 questline)
 * From the Mouth of Abes Pt. 5 (act 4 questline)

You'll know if you've started on these parts when you have already unlocked the Black History Month Mystery Box Token in each act (a max of 4 can be obtained from the event). Once the event ends, you can likely still continue to work on the current prize(s) and after you got a prize from a questline in 1 of the 4 acts the questline and prize track will disappear for that act but the other 3 (if you haven't completed them) will remain until you get the current 3 prizes you were working on in the event then they will disappear as well.

A useful pro tip (apologies for not posting this earlier in the event): if you need less than 55 Stethoscopes/Hard Hats/Police Badges/Wheel Cakes, you can store the primary building* then send the required amount of characters so they can go to the secondary building* instead, then place the primary building out of storage and send the characters you have left to the primary building so you don't waste any extra currency unlocking a prize and get a head start on the next prize.

The premium characters in the event (Hibbert's Father, Stogie, The Patriarch and Mabel Simpson) all go to the Springfield Library as the only location when earning Stethoscopes, Hard Hats and Police Badges but when earning Wheel Cakes, they go to the same buildings as the regular characters earning Wheel Cakes so Lard Lad Donuts, Retro Lard Lad and Kwik-E-Mart.


 * The primary (p) and secondary (s) buildings in the event are:
 * (act 1 ) Springfield General Hospital (p), and Hibbert Family Practice (s)
 * (act 2 ) Rigellian Construction Site (p), and Control Building (s)
 * (act 3 ) Police Station (p), and Kwik-E-Mart (s)
 * (act 4 ) Lard Lad Donuts (p), Retro Lard Lad (s), and Kwik-E-Mart (s)

If you don't have any of the primary buildings:

1. Send the needed characters on the tasks first (so if you need 40 to get the prize for example, send 8 regular characters first (1 regular character = 5 currency and 1 premium character = 8 currency)).

2. Wait 5-10 mins and then send the remaining characters next.

3. When you login again 4 hours after sending the first set of characters on tasks you can collect from them first and get the exact amount for the prize.

4. Wait or login again 5-10 mins later to collect from the rest of the characters.

5. Send all your available characters to earn the currency again like you normally do until you need less than 55 currency then repeat steps 1-4.

Another way is to use donuts to rush the tasks and each time you rush a character task costs 2 donuts per character bringing the total to 22 or 30 if you have all the premium event characters per set of 4 hour tasks.

Overall, just do what you can from now until 3 hours, you can get another 5 collections (3 if your sleeping for 8 hours) then in the last few hours decide if you really want all the prizes and if you really do then make sure you have unlocked the token (4th prize) in each of the 4 acts to ensure you have a chance of getting the character after the event ends tomorrow.
