An average of around 11,400 lottery applications were received in each of the last few years (giving odds of being drawn at about 1 in 7). Winners of the lottery must then pay a $25 permit fee to drive the park road. Road lottery entries can be made online at www.recreation.gov beginning at 6:00 am (Alaska Daylight Time) on June 1 until midnight (AKDT) on June 30. All lottery applicants must pay the application fee; lottery winners incur one or two other fees, explained in the 'If You Are Drawn' section below. Everyone who submitted a road lottery entry will be notified whether or not you were drawn. Those who are selected will also receive an email confirming the day of their permit, with additional information on how to obtain the road permit and prepare for their visit to the park. Please note, some email services filter messages from rec.gov as spam; if you feel like you are missing your notification, check your trash or spam folder.
