I see that the lottery annoucement is this Tuesday. In the past few (?) years, IIRC, it has been held in April. Has it always been in April, and this year they are doing it early? Or has it "danced" around between months?

The lottery is early this year. It allows selected athletes a larger window to complete the qualifying requirements and plan their travels. As I recollect this information was provided in a press release late last year.

Alright folks....who's feeling lucky? About two hours left.

Even though I know statistically my chances are small...i'm feeling particularly lucky this year.

I shouldn't need luck, my name should be on the Legacy list. Still nervously awaiting noon.

i was wondering about this the other day, i thought it may have been drawn already!

Rough estimate: the odds are about 1 in 100 to 1 in 200 for someone whose name is in the hat once. Odds go up with every subsequent year of course or if they also enter the.... passport? Or whatever they call that.

Did I miscalculate the time or should the results be up now?

Should be 12h Eastern....

Where does one find the Lotto Results?

About another 50 minutes

But isn't it 12:10 Eastern right now? Maybe the stress has affected my brain...

Today is my 18th anniversary, and I'm hoping to get lucky twice :-)

Giddy up, there's no reason to look behind you, you're not heading that way.

Following was copied from the ironman web page, if you look at this from a lawyers perspective it says "they will release results March 17th", no particular time is indicated!


Q. When will registration close? When will the winners be announced?

We will close the IRONMAN Lottery Bonus on October 10th, 2014 at 12:00pm EST. Anyone who enters the 2015 IRONMAN Lottery between October 6th and October 10th at 12:00pm EST will automatically be entered to win the bonus slot. Those who do not win the bonus slot will continue with their entry(s) into the 2015 IRONMAN Lottery for the 100 slots. Registration will close on Saturday, February 28th at 11:59pm EST and we will announce the winners on Tuesday, March 17th.

You are not mistaken. It is now past noon on the east coast. My guess is that, unlike past years, they only sent emails to the 200 folks who got picked.....

Athletes selected will be announced on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 12 p.m. ET. Athletes will be notified via e-mail with directions on how to complete online registration.
