Just curious...

From your experience, which play do you have the best chances of winning the lottery?

when i went to hairspray everyone who entered got tickets, except for me and some old guy who entered his name multiple times so they took them away. So even though I didn't get the tickets I think the chances were pretty good since I was the only one! (and my friend got them so it was ok!)

I won:
Wicked on the first try
Hairspray on the first try(I also did standing room, the only show I have done standing room for)
I lost Avenue Q TWICE. Go figure!

I won Avenue Q on the first try.
Also, RENT is pretty easy, depending on the day.
And before one performance of Hairspray, the woman at the box office was trying to get me to take a lotto ticket because they hadn't all sold (and this was a Sat. performance)...but unfortunately...or fortunately...I already had tix to Boy from Oz and 'bare' that day.

I won hairspray on my first try. I won Avenue Q on my first try. I actually just won Q again last week(only two times I tried). I've lost rent a few times, but it's been pretty empty lately (before jai came 'back' ..at least). I've lost Wicked 4 times. (boo!)

Wicked lottery has been crazy the last few weeks. First it was because a lot of Randy fans were piling in and now it's to see Kristin before she leaves. There had to have been at least 350 people there last week. Despite that, I've won it twice and lost it twice in the last three weeks so it's really pot luck I would say.

I think it is funny that Avenue Q is my favorite show and i have not won the lottery.
I think it is because IT SUCKS TO BE ME.
But i go enough and listen to the cd so often I had to replace it.
LOL.

I went to the Wicked lottery last week and it was INSANE... I'd say about 400-450 people there. My friend's name got called, but there was only one ticket left, so sadly, we had to throw it back. I wouldn't recommend doing that lotto since all the Randy and Cheno fans are completely nuts and it's so hard to win.

I'm trying the RENT lottery on Thursday, but since Jai is in it, I don't know if my chances will be any good.

I got extremely lucky and won Wicked lotto on the first try. On a Saturday matinee performance, too.

Haven't tried lotto for anything else yet.

-RENT is definitely the easiest. I just got tickets last week even with Jai Rodriguez and unfortunately Scary Spice.
-I won Avenue Q the first time I tried it, which was about a week ago.
-Hairspray is a pretty easy lottery.
-Wicked...I do not reccomend because I am 0-18.

Lets see where does the bad luck begin....
Wicked - lost 10 times and this was very early in the run
Avenue Q - lost twice
Hairspray - lost once, got in once

However, Rent is super easy and I did eventually see all of the above shows.
