First GP 250, second GP 400, and third GP 800 makes a total of 1450. If you are opening entirely on double sprout days then any of them will work to get the 3rd GP. I would go with small boxes still since they give the best overall rewards, and are most likely to mitigate RNG vagaries.@TedGrau That is some really good info. Now what is your opinion of large vs small box if opening on double sprout days for the goal of getting the 3rd GP? Still small boxes? Or does priority shift to opening large boxes?
Tell me how many nuts you have now I can put it in the spreadsheet to tell you your chance of success.That's helpful. I have the 2nd GP unlocked and have the full 800 to go for the 3rd prize.
For 800 sprouts, I'd need 160 small chests (or 80 if opened on double sprout days) or 40 large chests (20 if doubled). That means I would need either 8000/4000 nuts for the small (discounting extra nut rolls) or 5600/2800 nuts for the large. Assuming my really bad luck, I would only have enough if I opened the large boxes on doubled days. But I will try it with the small boxes and see.
Now I just need another double sprouts day to pop up.
I will report the highest values for each. 1419BP likely to generate 245 GP points with small boxes. 2349 likely to generate 420 GP points with large boxes (410 with small), I would pick small because of the resistance to RNG vagaries.I have 2 cities. One has 1419 on quest 85. The other has 2349 on quest 90.
Get ready for leaf codex double sprout day! Right after Travelling merchant double sprout day!Edit: Better yet, make all the days I want the daily prize the double days.
When you open the chests, they reward 5, 10 or 20 sprouts based on the size. On some days, they will instead reward 10, 20 or 40, but that has only happened once. Hopes are that the double sprouts will show up again which in theory could make the 3rd Grand Prize possible.What are these double sprout days that y'all are talking about?

Medium boxes are again the biggest waste.
Keep in mind that the medium and large boxes give 2 instants for supply and coin, with the large giving 2 for the time boost as well. The small boxes do not do well for instants.

*sigh* All of humanity seems to suffer from a deficit in rational ability.True, but the coin and supply instants for the medium chest are way off. There I think Ted did not include the x2 in the 25% coin/supply reward.
