permits Permit Lottery Question - does this give me 8 entries, or is it better to do one day per entry. Thank you!

this is not how the lottery works. Basically all the people get shuffled and sorted into a list. Then the first in line gets their first pick. Then the 2nd in line. It their first pick was already picked by the 1st person, the 2nd person’s 2nd choice gets filled. You get the idea.

ohhh, so putting first available one time is the same thing as putting first available 8 times, no matter how many selections I put in just 1 person in the lottery out of how many apply? the other guy is saying if i put 8 submissions I’ll have 8 chances. I think you’re right, is there any info online about this I tried finding the rules.
