[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 114773, member: 843"] I am pretty sure the NDGF has explained the reason for the additional 2 week delay to what we have now vs some years ago is the Gratis Tag situation. If I remember right, this is a simplified version of the situation... [U]High tag number days[/U] 100,000 tags total estimated 30,000 to gratis and so removed 30,000 tags from lottery pool ran the lotteries with 70,000 tags available and reported results then spent following weeks issuing gratis tags [U]New way with low tag numbers [/U]60,000 tags total start with gratis applications and issue or allocate the exact amount of tags 29,456 tags go to gratis (are subtracted from 60,000 total) Begin lottery with 30,544 tags available So they claim this new sequence will benefit the people in the lottery because it will take advantage of all possible buck tags available. In the example above 544 addition tags were added to the lottery that wouldn't be there if they kept the old process. [/QUOTE]
