Sunday, July 29 - Won! (First try — couldn't believe it.)

Has anyone ever won the lottery twice for the same show? Curious if winners are automatically dropped out of future lottery draws after a win.

Good luck everyone!!

My Mom and I both entered July 25, August 1 and August 2...lost all three times. I plan on entering every day I am able to attend and hopefully I will eventually win! I wonder how many people enter vs how many people are selected?

Still no luck here either. Then again since they started the virtual lottery I have never won.

I tried for Tuesday and lost. Didn't bother yesterday because I was in the park and at a part of the line I knew I was guaranteed to get a ticket.

I have never won..ever. Been trying since Hair a few years ago. It really is luck to get in via the Virtual ticketing. Good luck to all!

I entered four times so far for ITW and lost each time. On the other hand, I did win on my first try for As You Like It.

I've entered every day since the first preview and have yet to win - not particularly surprised, but was hoping I'd have better luck. Maybe before they close I'll get lucky! Fingers crossed.

I won for the first preview, which was my first time attempting the virtual lottery. I never have much luck with these things, so I was very happy to win! But I haven't entered since then as I have no real inclination to see this production again. I don't regret going, but I can't bring myself to witness Mr. O'Hare's butchering of the Baker's role again... among other things. :/

I think there are only two days that I could possibly go, so I will be entering both of those days, but I won't be getting my hopes up. I have never done virtual lottery before, but it sounds like my chances are slim...and I've never been an overly lucky person. Haha.

I'm in the same boat, Willep. I've got one chance next Wednesday, and another the final week.

I was thinking of getting in line the final week, but my daughter will be with me. I just cannot see the two of us getting in line at 3 am (or earlier) to wait until 1pm -- I doubt we'd be able to stay awake through the show!

I think both dates, I'll enter the lottery and keep my fingers crossed. If it doesn't work out, we'll either hit tkts (ick) or use a b'way box discount directly at a box office.

I just won for tonight... I've never been there before. If I won tickets, are they already assigned, or is there some benefit me picking them up earlier in the 5-7p window?

No one to give them to Millie? How sad! I'm sure you'll get a million PMs willing to take them off your hands!

They are given out randomly, it does not matter when you pick them up! (Someone mentioned that your names are printed on the tix, so it is decided long before ou get there.

I was just thinking, I'd be happy to take them of your hands! Of course these are hard to give away because your name is on them and you need an ID to pick them up.

I've entered the lottery tons of times over the last few years and have won a couple of times (not this season, though).
