How the Oregon draw works

Preference/Random Split

A percentage goes to preference point holders, the rest is pure random giving everyone a chance.

75% of tags to highest preference point holders, 25% random.

  • Most tags go to higher-point applicants, but a random share keeps opportunity open.
  • Lower-point applicants still have a path in random allocations.
  • Plan a long-term strategy while taking yearly random chances.
