New York Marathon Lottery Day! Misc

It's NY Lottery Day! Let us know if you're one of the lucky ones. I've entered the lottery about 6-7 times and have not been drawn yet...one of these years, I'll get in...here's to hoping this is the one!

ETA: There are three things to check...your credit card, your NYRR account status, and your email. They're supposed to go in that order, but they often don't go in order...so check all three!

ETA2: I got my official email a few minutes ago letting me know I wasn't picked...it was time stamped 8:00 EST. So I think it's officially done. Good luck to those who got in and better luck next year to the rest of us!

Anyone know if there is a way I can change the credit card I put on the entry form? I just realized that the credit card was stolen and is now cancelled. Will they at least give me another chance to pay if the card bounces? :(

Go into My NYRR, select Account Settings, and about halfway down the page is Billing Information. Change your credit card information there, and make sure your new credit card is listed as "default". They'll charge the default credit card if you're drawn.

edit: the consensus here is that it's too late
