How to add a fixed value into the stats count?

I am trying to have a single value panel. The search for the same is given below:

index=* host="prodserver-*" source="/var/log/some.log" "something happened" | stats count 

I need to add a fixed value of 1000 to the count value. I tried to use eval and add the value to count but its not working 😞
I can add two fixed values like the one given below, but using "count" is not working.

This works:

index=* host="prodserver-*" source="/var/log/some.log" "something happened" | eval totalCount = 1 + 1000 |stats max(totalCount)  

This does not work:

index=* host="prodserver-*" source="/var/log/some.log" "something happened" | eval totalCount = count + 1000 |stats max(totalCount) 

I am new to Splunk so please forgive me if this is a silly question :).
