I heard there were about a 1000 applicants. However there could have been more, I never got any notification that I did or didn't draw. So I emailed the person over the Island trying to find out what my results were. He said they didn't have any record of my application.
I would like to know how they do the draw for the Island? I am not too disappointed I have been out there a couple times in the past and never really picked up anything great, it's probably because I am blind!
It would be nice if they could post those that did draw like they do with the expo tags. I am all for transparency!
