wtf?? My first thought was: I'm so glad my child isn't going to the same school as yours.

We do it too. You just never know what you may get into.

There is really zero correlation between lottery and actual demand. Plus schools moving on and off the top of the list really is about what schools are projected to have seats rather than a demand to attend.
