Ham Lotto Winning Stories — Page 2

So for those that have knowledge on the lottery. I didn't think I would ever attempt the lottery, but since tomorrow is live I decided to attempt it when I arrive into the city. I know my odds are nill and I already have tickets for Wednesday matinee to another show, but this would be my only opportunity to enter. My questions are as follows: What is the beginning time to enter and cut off? Do they still do live Ham4Ham outside the theater? What is the time for this? Lin does perform Wednesday matinee? If anybody wants to pair up, let me know. I only need one ticket. Any info you can give, I appreciate it.

TNick926, Thanks for the response. However, unless I read it wrong this is for the digital lottery. I am entering the Wednesday matinee (tomorrow) live lottery. If someone knows the answers to my questions, I appreciate it.

From the Hamilton website: A live lottery will be held at the theater for Wednesday matinée performances ONLY. Entries begin at 12 p.m. and winners will be drawn at 12:30 p.m. There will be 21 front row tickets available to lottery entrants. One entry per person. Tickets are $10 each, cash only. Winners must be present to win and must have a photo ID that matches the name drawn.

That said, the line is usually long by the time they start letting them enter at noon, but they do wait until everyone has entered before drawing. Ham4Ham will be at like 12:25p, right before the lottery is drawn. Yes, Lin performs on Wednesday matinees.

For the digital lotto, would you have a better chance asking for one or two tickets? If I remember correctly, there are an odd number of front row seats. So if they don't have any SRO amd all the others that were chosen were pairs, then a single ticket would be better, right? Because unlike the live lotto, the person chosen can't decrease the number of tickets, right? However, if there's SRO and there's an odd number of front row seats, would the last pair be given one fromt row & one SRO? Or would they be separate?



Side question: SRO sold via the online lotto... Is it $40 or $10? Just wondering since SRO via live lotto isn't the lotto $10...

One day my roommate asked me where I kept running off to and explained and I invited her to come along with me. They pulled all the front row tickets and nothing, and then the first standing room ticket was her name and I let out a yell and then my brain shortcircuited. We had enough cash between us to the dollar to pay for both, if it had been one more dollar we would have been outta luck. Still can't believe it."



When they lotto off SRO you can use cash or credit card, so you wouldn't have been too SOL! Congrats!
