If you are on iOS the Arctic can generate a lot of points. By running a non-stop assembly line of breed, hatch, evolve to level 4, sell off, repeat, with the ice age- and abominable- type dragons, you can make several hundred points every four hours (blizzard-types take too long/too many flames to hatch). This is why Android players are at a big disadvantage to iOS players.

I don't spend gold on this event and the only times I've reached the last milestone dragon have been when I get lots of big point (200+) spins on the wheel. I've even finished in 1st place several times without reaching the last milestone dragon.

This event is designed to get players to spend gold, so the last milestone and 'grand prize' are hard to obtain for players who don't use gold or haven't bought multiple nests and evo chambers (with gold, of course).

The best gold investment, imho, is additional nests. If you fill empty nests with Water and Olympus eggs, they are always generating points for the event. Extra nests come in handy for many other aspects of the game, as well.
