Point creep & years to draw
Drew out at 1 → 1 → 1 → 1 points (2022–2025): no creep — drew at 1 points each year. Projecting that pace forward:
| Your points now | Years until a sure thing |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 yr |
| 1 | now |
A projection of the last five draws' median creep (capped at 2 points/yr), not a forecast. Random-pass odds still apply every year you're below the cut.

How to read these numbers
Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.
