The first time I entered, I won the lottery on 1/24 for the Saturday matinee. In March I entered everyday and didn't win. I've also rushed for this show, and to my knowledge, the lottery and rush seats are normally the same seats: front row or box. So you possibly have a chance at winning, but if you can, I'd recommend rush, because you would be getting the same deal. Personally, I didn't mind the view from the front row because you are so close to the actors and the action.
