Honest note · Lotteries are random — no advantage to entering early in the window. Most public Broadway lotteries publish no win-rate data. Assume single-digit odds for hits and 10–20% for mid-tier shows.

Honest note · On weekends and during previews the line can wrap the block. If you can be flexible on date, a weekday matinee rush is the easiest path.
