Looks like the results are available. I have not gotten an email yet but you can check the result under reservations -> lotteries in your account on the website (not the app).

I see “accepted” in the Rec.gov app for me, but no more details than that. So not entirely sure what the means but hopefully that’s positive. 🤞👍🤞

Not the most intuitive thing to locate on the rec.gov website.

I too have "Satus: Unsuccessful" as my result under Standard Group Lottery (1-8 Campers)

As a member of the unsuccessful club, I added it to the poll.

Apologies it looks like when I changed it, the results are wiped out, so please add again.

April 15 for me. Probably not a lot left by then but we will see. Maybe I’ll do better in the North Cascades.

Successful! I'll start my planning.
Awarded Date: April 21 is most likely not ideal.

"Accepted "
Doesn't mean anything.
Go to web page directly for results.

I got April 1st. Not sure where that puts me but I guess it's better than not getting anything at all. Does anyone know how many permits they issue per hour and per day? Sorry to the folks who got skunked.

I ought to start investing in Recreation.gov's parent company. The amount of money I pay this company every year in lottery fees to ultimately get nothing is ridiculous.
