The number assignment is the draw. Each of your chances gets assigned a number. The winners of the draw have the lowest numbers. The more points you have the more chances to get a low number you have.
with 1 point you have 1 chance to get a low number. With 19 points you have 361 chances to get a low number. 361 chances is way more than one chance I think...  :chuckle:

Correct, but you still only use the lowest(1) number you've been assigned.  Hence the 1 chance per category.

Well you can't draw any more than one permit per category. So not sure why you'd want more than one number.  :dunno:

Not sure why the confusion.  If you have 361 numbers in the draw, your odds of getting a very low number are 361 times better than someone with 1 point.

I thought they way it was explained before on the DFW page was that your applications were assigned random numbers (aka random number generator). I see now that is not the case. I still don't feel like my 19 points gives me much edge, otherwise I wouldn't have 19 points.  :chuckle:
