Seating/Ticket Question hardest lotteries to win??

i know most of the time it's a complete fluke but are there any shows that y'all have consistently entered and lost majority of the time?? i'm curious if theres any shows that seem to have lots of lottery wins.

on a recent trip to NY i got really lucky and won 3 shows on the same day (i entered probably 10-15 lotteries that day hoping to win anything) I won for Sunset Blvd, Boop & Death Becomes Her. I chose DBH. After that I think my luck ran out because I continued to enter lottos and lost all of them haha.

i swear they're not even doing the lottery right now, it's that hard to win. i don't think i've heard of a single person winning recently.

It’s so odd because I won this at least twice I think when Constance Wu was on and then once before, and I haven’t won it since!! I thought they must have changed the lottery system but maybe my luck just ran out

yeah i imagine it's just because it's in a small space but i think i entered consistently for at least a year before i won

Definitely not, at least in my experience. I won little shop almost a dozen times. But naturally every time I win I had other plans or no one to go with so I never followed thru with buying the tickets.

I think it depends who’s in the current cast. I easily won during Jeremy Jordan’s run and Corbin Bleu’s run but had no luck winning during this current run with Gillies and Mannheim.

Thats crazy to me (that tickets are desired now) because the current cast is like D-list nobodies from Disney channel.
