I know there have been topics on this before but I was wondering how [tos] lotto has been since it's announced it's closing. I'm planning on going on Sunday. Also, I'm assuming with it's grosses that it's still on TKTS? Thanks!

I was at lotto for both shows this past Sunday. For the matinee, a total of three people didn't win (one of them being me). For the evening, maybe 10ish people didn't win. It was much worse over the summer.

Worse as in... worse chances of winning or worse as in not as many people showed up?

On Monday night there were a lot of people that didn't win, but miraculously, my friend and I were both called, even though we didn't need the extra set of tickets. It really is a toss up to determine the lotto crowd. They offered $47.50 tickets afterward at the box office, so just lotto, and if you don't win, buy your half price tickets at the box office.

Where are the lotto seats located and how much are they? (I went on TalkingBroadway and the official [tos] website and found no info on the lotto at all!) And is it like most other lottos time-wise? Put your name is 2.5 hours to curtain and then they pull names 2 hours to curtain?

When I went, it was on a wednesday night about a month ago. Seats are FRONT ROW, EXCELLENT SEATS. I think about 10 people didn't get it.
Seats are front row, 26.50, and there are 18 seats. And you put your name in 1.5 hours before and they call 1 hour before.
I tried the lotto on September 6th (eve)
Me and my mom entered for one ticket (I was going to RENT)
I was the first one called and there were about 30-40 people there. They offerend lottery priced best available after that.
So..yeah...before the closing was announced but...hope that helps!
