I did get my tickets thru the lottery. I put in for the lowest tier only & hoped for the best. I got lucky but unfortunately, a lot of friends who have been going 10+ years didn't. Many spouted conspiracy because of the high number of "Burgins" who won the lotto. It's ironic how the theme this year is "Fertility." I wish you the best in your search & maybe see you in the playa?
