Yes, lottery is so much better than placard clicking since it respects the players time more.

Also, I remember those people who were doom mongering about how lottery is like trying to win the jumbo cactpot and there will be hundreds or thousands of entrants per plot.

Turns out that there's about less than 10 entrants per plot on average, even for personal plots. Turns out that their predictions are ridiculous and we have not heard from them since.
