Thanks for the link !
From what Ms THURMOND said the following is still possible:
They already selected 105k but did not inform them all. In the past they just sent a letter. This year is the first time that people have to go back and check
"
So it is a practice we’ve done in the past, but this is the first time that people have to check back in to find out if they were selected as part of the second group.
"
And that could be part of the formula they use to determine if they'll reach the 50k or not - by the number of people checking to see if they were selected. Some people might not know that they need to proactively do everything themselves, they might still have the idea that they'll get a letter, like in the past. Or an email telling them to check. For those people, their places in the lottery get given away. Or they might have lost their Confirmation Numbers or didn't understand the importance of keeping it. Not everyone reads instructions carefully.
