Point creep & years to draw

Drew out at 26 → 26 → 28 → 27 → 28 points (2022–2026): +0.5 points/yr (range +0.0 to +2.0). Projecting that pace forward:

Your points nowYears until a sure thing
056 yrs (28–∞)

840 yrs (20–∞)
1232 yrs (16–∞)
1624 yrs (12–∞)
2016 yrs (8–∞)

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.

Not an application service

This page is informational only. Draw rules, quotas, fees, and deadlines are set by the state agency and change by commission action — confirm everything on the agency's own site before you apply, and apply through the agency, not here. We disclaim all liability for reliance on this page.
