My friend won the lottery on Saturday and it was his first time entering. Totally anecdotal of course, but I wouldn’t feel discouraged about entering again.

I learned this from traveling to Disney. When most of the people are tourists who pre booked trips bad weather doesn't mean anything.
I’m trying for the lottery today 1/11 @2pm. I got here around 11:40 and there were already 8-10 people in front of me in the cancellation line.
I ended up hopping over to the lottery line only since I can’t afford full price. As of 12:11pm, there still looks to be about 8-10 people in the cancellation line and I’m sure people will do both. The lottery line has about 15 people, but more are bound to show.
I got in the cancellation line suuuuuper early today because I didn’t want to risk missing it. It was a super warm, dry Saturday in January. It got in line at 7:15am. The next pair showed up at around 10:30. The next pair arrived at 11:30am. Only 2 cancellation tickets were given (row H on aisle) at about 3 minutes before curtain, so I am glad I was an early bird. The cost was $138 per ticket. The pair behind me decided to stay in line for the evening show.
For the lottery today, about 50 people showed up, and about 10 tickets were given out.
18 people there tonight (Wed, 1/29) and 14 tickets available. The group was so small they didn't even put the barricade up like they normally do. All ticket winners were row G, right side.
The show was amazing, by the way, and Gideon Glick was fantastic as Seymour. My first time winning, and eighth time attending lotto! As other people have mentioned: if you go alone put yourself down for two tickets and try to pair up with other single people. It really increases your chances of winning, and you can end up making someone's night! Good luck!
