CHECK YOUR DRAWN STATUS:

OPT-OUT OPTION:

• If you are a winner and have decided, for whatever reason, you do not want to purchase the permit, simply do nothing and when the deadline expires at 12:00 Noon, June 15th, your permit opportunity will be forfeited.  This will allow the permit to be offered to a different person during the 2^nd Drawing on June 25^th.
• During the “Check Your Status” process, people who were not drawn in the 1^st Drawing will have the option to “Opt Out” of the 2^nd Drawing.  This opportunity is provided for those who may have multiple friends or family that were drawn and no longer have a need for additional permits.  “Opt Out” will allow the permit to be returned to the pool of available permits in the 2^nd Drawing on June 25^th. “Opt Out” will not affect future applications or drawings.
• “Opting Out” will allow for the permit to be drawn by someone else in the 2^nd Drawing on June 25th.
• “Opting Out” will not affect your application or drawings in the future.

 

NO ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS WILL BE RECEIVED

The 2^nd Drawing will consist of only the remaining applicants from the 1^st Drawing and any Opt-Out permit slots.
