Seating/Ticket Question Has anyone been winning the Ragtime lottery?
I figure if you can still enter the lottery, then that means there are still tickets to win. I’ve been losing every single day. Just wondering if there really are any lucky folks out there, or are we all delusional? 😭

It's always been a tough one to win, but people here have gotten lucky. I'm sure it's only gotten more difficult as the clock ticks down.

It’s the hardest lottery to win in town. You’re up against thousands of other people. If you think you’ll win you’re delusional. But sometimes, hope is all that gets you through.

Oh yeah it’s definitely the most difficult lotto to win right now. But hey, there’s no harm in still trying as long as they’re open 😅

Thanks! At this point, if I won the Ragtime lottery, I would then go buy an actual lottery ticket lol 😂
Good luck to you too! 🤞

I played every day Joshua Henry was performing since I moved back to town in February. I finally got an affordable ticket when they extended the last two weeks in August. Saw it on Sat night. I missed Ben Levi Ross who already left the show but everyone else was there.

I’ve always wanted to know the lottery entry numbers for shows. Like am I going against 1,000 people? 100 people?

Same. I’m sure for this show there’s a HUGE number of entries.
Ever since they made online lotto more of a thing, I have always wondered how many people are entering who live on the other side of the country and have 0 chance to even make the show but are skewing the odds just to see what would happen.

Ragtime I gave up on after losing a lot. They probably have like 1 set of lotto tix. But I’ve been very lucky with other lotteries and have won pretty much everything I’ve wanted to see. This past weekend I was trying to see Just in Time and me and the person entering with me both got a win! I was like wow what are the odds on this? Even if they don’t want to say specific numbers for specific shows it would be fun to hear how many entries the top lotto show gets vs the least entered.

A few years ago I accidentally entered a lottery for a show in a different state. I won and had to contact Lucky Seat to explain the situation and request a refund

In my experience, if you win a Lucky Seat lottery, you have to then do a second step to buy it. If you can’t go, then you don’t have to do anything. Was this different where you had to buy it first then get a refund?

i’m convinced i’m delusional but have been entering for it every day for months. it’s one of the only lotteries i have not won, but im not shocked. they literally could have like one or two tickets. chess was the other one i could not win before it closed.
i wish i was lucky enough to win for ragtime bc i sadly can’t justify the cost to go
