2019 Draft Lottery Info

 We will be conducting our draft lottery on Thursday, October 1st and Friday, October 2nd..........


The “Pennsylvania Daily Number Evening” lottery (http://www.palottery.state.pa.us/) on subsequent nights (7PM EST) will be used to decide who gets the #1 and #2 picks in the first round only. If the second pick yields the same result as the first night, then a third night’s lottery drawing will be used. The remaining 10 teams will draft in reverse order of record. So, the team with the poorest record can do no worst than pick third in the first round.

000 to 249 – Toronto (57-105)

250 to 449 – Washington (60-102)
