Anyone tried the Wicked lottery at Block 37 yet? I plan to go down and try it at point in the next week but I would love to know how easy/difficult it is to win. I assume it's not as hectic or popular as the one in NYC.....

I'm thinking of trying the lotto when I'm in Chicago next week.
Do you estimate 20ish people were there and 10 people won (each buying two tickets, for a total of 20 lottery tickets)? If so, 1:2 odds aren't too bad! Do you know where the lottery seats were located in the theater? Were they restricted view?

I wonder if crowds will die down if one enters on a weekday rather than a weekend? And it probably was worse if you want earlier on, now that it's been going on for a while hopefully it might die down.

I tried the first Thursday and Friday of the run. Both times there were about 50 people, and I lost both times. On the Friday only, they offered $50 tickets to those who lost the lottery, and I got a ticket in the side orchestra about 12 rows back.
It's nice that they do the lottery indoors, considering the cold weather, and it's right in front of the HotTix booth, so if you lose, you can get get a last minute discounted ticket to something else.
