The first post above has been changed to reflect slightly different dates: Acceptance period for those winning a slot is now between April 1 and April 30.

Non-accepted slots will become available May 1. Those declined should become available within 24 hours of the time they were declined.


Edit: Today (Feb 1) is the FIRST DAY you can enter the lottery.

  GOOD LUCK everyone!
