Has anybody tried it recently? I know it's next to impossible, but I'm meeting a friend in the city on Wednesday and we were both going to enter for the matinee before we get tickets to something else. What are our odds?

The only time I won was the first time I entered, after that I've had no luck. Also, if you're trying for a Wednesday matinee, make sure it isn't the week of the Hamilton education performance, as that is closed to the public.

Your odds are not great. But miracles do happen!

I say it's worth entering even if the odds are not that great. Do not throw away your shot.

I won two weeks ago on a Friday. Three other people where I work have also won in the last few months so it's definitely possible! I believe they added more lotto seats recently, no?

Jealous. Can I get a job at your work? Maybe that's the key. Haha.

I can't tell you how many times I've tried, no luck yet. Waiting in line right now to try for SRO. Maybe today will be my day? Lol

I was in New York to see falsettos and I had two free nights to see a show before i saw Falsettos on a matinee and left. I entered for Hamilton on the first night, lost and entered again on the second night and Won! It was a miracle so don't loose hope!
