A week ago yesterday, I was just surfing the internet and checking my email. Like other Hamilton fanatics might do, I play the Lottery daily. Side note about the app: you can download the app on your phone and have at it. Thereās also a three question trivia.
My family saw the play back in December and loved it, of course. So inspirational. Hence why we all continue playing and hoping. I even play all the cities the show is playing in. Hey...you never know...you could end up with a surprise vacation to London!
But alas. I did not end up there. But last week when I opened my email and saw I had won the Hamilton Chicago Lottety, I was stunned. After many tiring attempts at winning, it FINALLY happened. Never thought I would end up going a second time. But you really canāt pass up this experience. Who can resist ten dollar tickets??
Well, the very next day, my sister and were off to Chicago. We didnāt want to throw away our shots at this opportunity. Another fun surprise was that we were treated to front row seats! Who knew?! Right by the stage. Almost front and center so you could really hear the singing and soak it all in. Our first visit back in December, we sat up in the balcony. Of course it was amazing then, but there is definitely something about being right by the stage that really adds that extra special experience.
I would definitely recommend downloading the app so you can enter daily. I mean, who wouldnāt want to be in the room where it happened? (One of my favorite songs from the show, I must say). You never know when you might get an unexpected twist in your otherwise plain week. Iām still in awe a week later. I know that might be a bit obsessive, but it really was a night I will cherish. These kinds of opportunities donāt come up very often, so definitely take advantage.
Iām also going to be honest here and give a disclaimer: Iām not normally the type of person who gets super excited about Broadway shows and musicals, but this one is a strong exception to that. This is one Iād certainly go again if I or someone else in my family is presented with the opportunity to win. (Still awaiting their turn)..
The music here is quite inspiring, fun, emotional, and amusing at times. I strongly believe everyone needs to see Hamilton at least once. Itās also awesome they even have this whole concept of the Lottery so that everyone who wants to does have that chance to play and (hopefully) win.
So, moral of this long story: donāt throw away your shot! Play! You just never know..
Cheers, and good luck!
