Has anyone won the MY FAIR LADY lottery? If so, where were your seats located? I've entered several times recently to no avail.
Yes. Row D. Seats 501/502 in the loge. House right.

Does anyone know if they set aside tickets for the lottery or is it just whatever is available? If a show is sold out, will no one win?

^ Wondering the same thing... I've had zero luck and enter almost every performance.
I was wondering the same thing too. This reminds me of the DEH lottery last year before SRO become lottery.

Has anyone tried to enter the MFL lottery today? I am not sure if there are issues with the site, but nothing is coming up as available. Usually, if the lottery is not offered on a particular day, it will say that there are no available lotteries; but today I just get a blank screen?
Glad I'm not alone in this issue. I have no idea what's going on....I would also love to know if anyone has won lately and if there are any winners if the show is sold-out?
lottery is back up and working - but i'm still wondering if anyone has won recently or has more info on if they reserve seats for lotto?

I have entered almost every day since previews began and have not won. I won the Harry Potter lottery before MFL - never would’ve imagined that happening. Makes me wonder if tickets are actually available or if we’re wasting our time entering every day.

i thought the lottery would have become winnable before student rush, but apparently there is availability and theyre back to doing that now. i was told it was good weds, and last night there was probably at least 40 empty seats upstairs
I just won the lottery for tonight's performance.
Congrats! Let us know where your seat is and if it was a good view
Our seats were in the loge, row A seats 115/116. We had seen the show from the center of the orchestra back in June and I didn’t mind the view from here at all - didn’t miss a thing. My boyfriend, however, thought the view into the wings and all the action during the transitions was too distracting.

Won the digital lottery for Thu 10/18/2018. Seats were ORCHO F 110 and 111. Despite the seats being a literal "side view" of the show it wasn't partial view. We also saw the action through transitions but didn't mind them. We were very close to the stage, and overall we enjoyed it!

I won for Wednesday night, November 28. The seat was Orchestra, Row M, Seat 403. The view was just about perfect! I could see everything, and didn't have to look too far down like I would in Loge, or too far up in front orchestra. And there was more leg room than you would think.
I also claimed the tickets within 15 minutes of the notification I won, and they seemed to set the tickets aside in specific envelopes. So if you want a closer seat, claim it sooner.
But there's also no bad seat in the house!

Has anyone won this recently? I'll be trying in the next few weeks.

I won on my first try this Wednesday. Don't know if I just got lucky or if it's become easy to win. First time I've ever won a ticket lottery. It was an understudy-heavy performance but that wasn't announced in time for the lottery so I don't think that had an effect.
Seats were six rows from the stage all the way on the left side. We missed one or maybe two small things while the set was turning and a wall was blocking our view of the main action but there were other things we had a better view of. And during a couple of busy numbers, it almost felt like we were on the stage everything was so close. Well worth the $39 a ticket!

please do. I’ve entered for every show for the last two weeks and have yet to win. With this up on TKTS so much I thought I’d have won by now

That's how I feel about the Pretty Woman lottery when I see others winning and not me
I was there last night. The extreme sides of the orchestra and at least half the mezz were complete empty. It makes no sense why more people are not winning the lottery. A little money is better than no money.

I think it's because they have a set number of seats set aside for lottery - it's not based on tickets sold.
