Crazy MT bonus point question

[Stein]

So, on the application for deer & elk permits, there is a box you can check if you want to participate in the bonus point system and pay the $20 for a point if you are not drawn.

What happens if you have points accumulated but don't check it?  Would you enter the drawing with or without the points?

I have three points but want to enter a drawing without using them if possible but am not sure how it works and I couldn't find anything online.

Your point status in this year's drawing isnt affected.  If you don't check the box and you don't draw you won't accumulate a point for future drawings..

That's what I figured, thanks.  I'm at a 100% draw with 3 points so at least I can keep the $20 this year.
