How the Arizona draw works
Bonus Point Hybrid
Points increase your chances but don't guarantee a tag. Multiple phases combine preference and random elements.
3-phase hybrid system: 20% bonus pass, then random passes.
- Points improve odds but do not guarantee a tag.
- Multiple phases can favor high-point applicants while retaining random opportunity.
- Apply consistently to maximize total lifetime draw chances.
