I have to think 3 points will be 100% this year. Outside of the outfitter welfare program, only folks who didn't draw with 2pts in 2022 could be up to 3 this year and 2pts was over 90% successful if I remember right.
2022 was the first year you lost points if not applying, so this will be the...
If you don't apply in 2023 you will lose your preference points. The new rule can be read as every other year, but is being enforced as every year to not lose preference points. I learned the hard way.

Congrats TnT.
I was notified yesterday I won a pair as well and started researching this morning to narrow down which to request. Currently running 4 year old Lowa Tibets, so the timing is perfect.
I had an issue using in on the PC and emailed their customer service. Turns out they were having an issue with a certain layer (MVUM) and recommended turning that off. That solved my problem. I was notified a few days later that the issue was resolved and am now using that layer again.
