^^^ That's the weird part...so if one is already told that we lost, we could still possibly get another email saying we won if enough tickets aren't claimed?
The site says I lost all the days (with that annoying canned "Better Luck Next Time!" line...like, there is no next time. The show's never running again!), but I haven't received an email, so I'm going to foolishly keep hope alive...

Yes, which is weird because TodayTix does have stand-by during their digital rush offerings which could have been implemented here for unclaimed tickets.

They mean for the lottery itself, as in their next lottery for the next production, but I totally get you.
All my entries disappeared from TodayTix after being "pending" for a while, which is weird. I'm going to be optimistic and hope this means I'm being considered for the leftover spots haha.
I was always under the impression that the tickets for the in-person lottery would essentially be for no-shows. But now that I'm thinking about it, logistically this seems impossible unless they demand everyone with a ticket gets there at least 30 minutes early to guarantee their spot. Do we think these tickets will be unclaimed lottery spots or no-shows?

Same. Obviously if you won today and claim then in time, it's a guarantee unless you're crazy and decide not show up. But what of the unclaimed tickets from today? I can't imagine there'll be a lot, but I'm sure there'll be a few.
Pretty sure that is the case, that you need to pick up your tickets by 7:30, as is their usual policy. Then they go to the standby line. But for this show they will go to the lottery.
Unclaimed tix from today would presumably be offered to others “waiting” after the 1-hour window ends, since they’re notifying people throughout the afternoon.
Typically the standby line consists of people who return an extra ticket, corporate partners who aren’t using their allocations, staff seats, and other held seats that aren’t being used. For a normal show it’s whatever happened in the 7 hours since the morning hand-outs, but in this case it could be everything returned between now and then. Still wouldn’t expect many to be available, though.

Ok, but the standby is ALSO a lottery. It's a daily standby lottery. There will be no in person standby line, it's all digital. Which is nice, you don't have to show up ridiculously early for regular standby line in the hope you'll get a ticket. Just show up from 5-7 to enter.

I think the notification period was 12-4. My mother hasn’t received an email yet, but online it tells her better luck next time. Not sure if this means more notifications are coming...
If you go to the Delacorte Theatre instagram location tag, there is a picture of the set. Won't let me link here for some reason. Looks pretty cool, imo.
I was trying for the last three shows. They disappeared from my TodayTix list and then I got the loser email. Flying in from CA in hopes of seeing this show since I have yet to see anything at the Delacorte. Oh well, if anyone needs a +1, I'll be around! On the positive side, I can use my backup shows I already booked, and think about filling one rare open slot.
