Sometimes, you just know. And the other morning, I woke up and I just knew!! The moment I opened my eyes, I thought to myself: 'Today is the day I win the Wicked lottery.' The ticket lottery for Wicked - available at the Gershwin Theatre 2.5 hours before each performance - is famously busy.

At the height of my frustration over losing so often, I wrote a column proposing a 'frequent lotto-er' program so those like me could benefit somehow from continuing to put our names into the ring.
