Does anyone know around how many entries the Hamilton online lottery gets each day?  I know it's a lot, but I'm just curious.  I've never won and enter regularly, and all of my friends who enter regularly have never won as well....

TIA

Thousands, possibly even into the tens of thousands.

You have a better chance winning Powerball.

I actually read somewhere- I wish I could remember where that the average lottery gets between 20,000-30,000 applicants.

No, not even close.  (about Dave's comment.)

I did find a link to this story that reported on the first day of the lottery when the system crashed after 50,000 people entered.

One of the official Hamilton snapchats said approximately 14,000 entries (this was about a month ago - maybe more now.)

I thought I heard on one of the TV appearances it's 15,000. But I don't remember where. So that matches up with what dirily said.
