Sorry another stupid question.....


So working 1 day with my perdiem job keeps me right under the limit but if i work 2 days, it puts me over. Is there a way i can get by on telling them I only plan on working 1 day a week with this job? I have to submit documents in 5 days, ive only gotten 2 pay stubs from my perdiem job and they both show 2 days, am i screwed?

If your questions are for a specific lottery you own it yourself to estimate what your chances are before getting yourself into knots, and turning away work. Because maybe you are a very long shot.

This first thing to look at is total number or units. More is better. Then, how many units do you qualify for in household size? If you are a one person household your only typically qualify for studios and 1 bedrooms. So, subtract 2 bed and large units. Next look at Income. Are there some units you are certain you don’t qualify for because the household income is much less then yours/much more than yours? Subtract such units.

So, make an estimate of how many units you qualify for and compare it to your log#, and any preferences you qualify for if the particular lottery uses them.

A TIP, because it’s not what I think your income is or what you think your income is, it is ONLY what lottery people determine what your income is that matters. Let them do their work and keep your fingers crossed. If another applicant gets the last unit, or you are disqualified on income you still will have gained experience and insight to use in future lotteries.

Do not try to cheat the system it doesn’t always work out how you think it might

based on last 4 paychecks and I'll let the lottery handle the details.
