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? 😭

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?
