Hi, I have applied to several lotteries and 3 of them i got back fairly low log# 2, xxx and #7xx (low compared to what i normally get). I know this is pure luck and a waiting game. I realized it doesn't matter when you apply the numbers are random. From reading through different threads, i see having pref gives you a better chance!! I would love to hear from anyone who has received a called back with a high log # and pref and from ones who have low log # and no pref. I'm just praying with time and patience i get called.

Wow 11 is really low!! Makes me feel like my number will never get called. I was told to keep positive because a lot of applicants, back out, won't reply or won't qualify.

You kinda have to have that mindset to not go nuts. I mean they were pretty aggressive, even said they called me (did not see a missed call or voicemail) regardless, wouldn't have answered a number I don't know....

I'm hoping I get that lucky for the one I really want....

I’ve been contacted by both developments that i got logs in the 600s for. Both No preferences. I’m living in one of the apartments now, the other i withdrew because my income changed by time i was contacted.
I was also contacted with a 4000 log number, no preferences. I was waitlisted because i was no longer living i NYC when i got contacted.
A few others i was contacted for no preference cant remember those logs, i believe one was in the 7000s but they were in the Bronx so i withdrew
The only cb preference lottery i was contacted for my log was somewhere in the 50,000s. I probably could’ve gotten a unit but i wanted a 2bd, the agent kept being pushy and asking me if i wanted a 1bd , but i was adamant about the 2 bd, next day i received the waitlist email.

The highest log # (with no preference) I’ve been called for and in the process of getting is 21xx. There is still hope!

No. It depends on the agency that does your paperwork TBH. For the 6 lotteries I’ve been contacted for one didn’t ever reach out to me, another wouldn’t stop emailing/texting me daily reminders to submit paperwork, and the others just sent one email when my log number was reached.

I won a unit from the lottery that has no any preferences, my log was 2XX. I applied in October 2020, got contacted in May 2021, approved by HPD & signed my lease in June 2021, & moved-in in July 2021. The process was 100% done online through HC 2.0 portal & email except when I toured the unit that assigned for me & signed my lease, I had to attend in person.
