This would be a question for Steve as he seems to be the wizard of all things Lottery. I am curious as to your "For the Record" post indicating remaining slots open for the completed 2018 Lottery and more specifically the date of August 11 where it appears there are 4 open slots for Overnight that were not used. Having just received my unsuccessful Lottery notice and referring back to the printed out form when I entered, I did indeed list August 11 as one of my alternate dates with 4 people for Overnight. So, just wondering why my request for that date was not filled during the Lottery process. I now will be monitoring the Recreation.gov website for another opportunity. Thank you for all of the information regarding this subject that you have given over time as I read it all.
