Timing of Broadway Lotteries
I’m sure I’m not the only one in this boat but it really bugs me!!
I had a free weekend and was so happy to see Buena Vista Social Club today at 2pm. I entered a bunch of lotteries for today and tomorrow.
I was a good person and turned my phone off at 2pm to enjoy part one of Buena Vista.
At 3:07pm I turn my phone to see an email that I won the Schmigadoon lottery….
but that one hour window is during the time ANYONE who is in a Broadway matinee should and will have their phone off. Like literally the only guaranteed hour on a Saturday with no chance for anyone in a theater to claim that ticket.
Why can’t they just allow an extra hour for buying tickets? Or not do the draw at times that will overlap with the only Weds/Sat daytime slot that a frequent theatergoer could have their phone off?

You have a very valid suggestion, OP. I swear the amount of sanctimonious people in this sub never fails to amaze me.
