i guess we were one of the 54, so only 204 people put in for the lottery? they called us on fri. and had lost our registration to the jeep? we had to jump on it quick to turn another copy in to the county to remain in the lottery...obviously that didn't help our chances. I wonder what they will do if someone does not claim their winning permit? I to wonder if they will redo the lottery each year? I personally think they should make everyone get in the lottery and make it an even chance for anyone in Walton to be given the chance if they so want. and each year you redo your lottery and redo your chance. i'm sure that will fall on deaf ears and get a few rebukes. we purchased our Jed with stickers for every year for the past 10 but were away when they made the change in the policy ........and guess what......we missed out and now we are begging for a way to get back on the beach legally!
