Lottery Procedure

To participate in the draw, one must purchase a ticket for $20, taxes included. A person may not purchase more than one lottery ticket.

The draw will be conducted among all participants, who will then be ranked in order of priority, and 55 winners will be selected. There is no distinction between residents and non-residents. When a winner is called, they may only reserve one date for two rods, among all available sectors.

Registration will take place from May 1 to May 14, 2025, at 12:00 PM (noon), with the draw happening on May 15, 2025. Calls to winners will be made on May 16, 2025, between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Winners, or their substitutes, must be reachable. If a winner cannot be reached, calls will proceed to the next ranked participants.

Remaining rods, if any, will be allocated on May 20, 2025, starting at 8:30 AM, among non-winning participants through follow-up calls, under the same rules (one reservation for two rods). If rods remain available, they will be allocated starting May 21, 2025, without limit, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The winner must be present during the reserved stay. Reservations are non-transferable and non-refundable.
