I'm a glutton for punishment, I signed up again. That little girl with the message in the bottle had better odds.

Thought I saw a stat floating around recently that its less than 1/100 chance to win. Doesn't stop me from applying, especially seeing how many of our brethren here on the forum have won in the past. If I get that "golden ticket" email I don't care what day it is, I am not selling or giving them away, my a** will be there.
I have often wondered how ticket quantity plays into your odds, if at all. I always just ask for two per day.
With about 2 million applicants for 2026 Masters tickets and based on attendance figures and available tickets…

Your odds of winning are roughly 1 in 182, or moneyline odds of +18000.
Good news is that’s still better odds than my Browns winning the Super Bowl at +25000.

I feel like I have already received my rejection letter
You're the first person I've seen win tickets to the actual tournament
I feel confident this is my year.

I am 2 for 15 or so for PR tickets..
IMO ... if you want to go, GO!!
I'd wager most spend $1500 on something else that can be sacrificed just once over time.

IMO, if we win, you should 100% have to attend or forfeit your tickets. SO many people use this as a money making opportunity versus a chance to attend.aginlakeway said:

Your lottery winning badge should have the name of the winner on it and show ID to enter.
I was able to attend last year (through a friend) so I think my changes of wining have increased this year.
Mine from 2024 did not have my name on them. They have an identification number, but I don't remember being checked for that. My brother and his wife accompanied us to use all four tickets. We did not end up going through the same line at check-in, and they got in with no issue. Nowhere did I have to identify them as the 2 people using the tickets, not when I purchased them, or at the gates.TXAGGIES said:IMO, if we win, you should 100% have to attend or forfeit your tickets.

I know, I think the Masters should do that to stop some from just entering to win with no intentions on going.rally-cap said:Mine from 2024 did not have my name on them.

I'll keep beating the drum that ANGC should just make you pay up front for all the tickets you request, or at least pay some kind of deposit. That would cut down on a lot of people just treating it like a lottery ticket.
Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, I can see it from both sides of the argument.

Saw that too. But the Masters never releases this info so I have no idea where they get these numbers from. It's, at best, a guess.
Considering how much they are worth in the resell market, I'd be a little surprised if it's only 2 million that sign up. Particularly if they accept applications worldwide (no idea on this).
I've won twice! 2010 & 2017, so it can happen.rally-cap said:I won it in 2023 and went to the Tuesday practice round in 2024. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read the email.AgShaun00 said:

In.

Anybody having issues with the site saying your address is already in use. My billing address is linked to a property I own in Texas and it says it is already in use. However we just bought a new construction home in Charleston and it is coming up already in use there too.
I got 2 Sunday tickets in 2024 through the lottery after 10+ years of rejection.
You have to call in and prove ownership. If it's already linked to another account, you can't register using it.uujm said:

Good luck to all those who partake in the lottery.
Deadline is two days away.

Results coming back soon, right?
It's been the 4th Monday of July, so I'm guessing 7/28 but that's later than most years, maybe it will be 7/21 instead.

It's a tradition unlike any other
And I am not talking about The Masters on CBS
I hope that someone here gets good news soon.
I'm up for my 19th year of rejection. I'm also the unluckiest person you've ever encountered, so I apply each year simply because a part of my brain is broken and craves disappointment.
I think I'll still apply for next year to make it an even 20 years of the odds kicking me down the stairs, and then I'll step away.

...take it easy on me, I'm a normal horn
11 years in and was selected 2 years ago, now back on the rejection train. Looking for year 3 of rejection
Not sure how many years I've been applying..but I did get selected in 2023 so it can happen.
Monday was a washout this year and those folks are being offered the opportunity to return this year, so bid think our chances are even slimmer for next year.

This week for ticket updates?
Should be.. got the yearly rejection email 7/22 last year.
I first registered in 2007 and got tickets. Thought it was easy. Am 0 fer since then. A couple emails away from a 20 year rejection streak!
Been trying since at least 2000
Won last year and I'm going to win again ………. Someday
