Sorry, the wording on that might have been odd. I did not win the lottery originally, but later in the day there were unclaimed lottery seats and they sent me an email to buy them before six for the next day's performance. So I won the lottery, but only because someone didn't claim their tickets.
After winning this lotto three times, was finally able to go on Tuesday. They were standby tickets unclaimed from the day before. Excellent seats- Row J, Orchestra left but close to the center. No partial view!
