Hi everyone,

I am out-of-state, not disabled, and do not check off any of the preference boxes. I've been applying to lotteries and received from one lottery a request to submit documents (e.g., copies of tax returns, DL...etc). Does this mean that this lottery already went through all the preference applicants (e.g., CB, municipal, disabled, NYC...etc) and found that they were ineligible or that these applicants withdraw from the lottery? Wondering if this means I am competing against other nonpreference applicants since they reached out and if this means I have a good chance of winning the lottery.


Thank you,

- Non-preferred Applicant

No, it means that the lottery went through all applicants who live in New York.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard of a non-NY resident being called!

Wow I’m interested to know what development and what a non ny resident log number could be since it is “randomly selected “ lol.

Yes the logs are randomly selected but OP asking if because she was ask to submit docs. If all preferences were called and all NY residents were called

This is weird to me since there are only 3 preferences and no application has a portion where you select non-ny resident. I get what ppl are saying but this doesn’t make sense to me, and hey I’m rooting for everyone to get called so I’m not against it

From what I understand, anyone who enters the lottery gets a log number, but the people marketing the apartments are supposed to skip anyone who doesn't live in NY.

That’s my understanding too until everyone from New York is called then the out of state is called last.
