I was looking up the odds while you were typing. Nonresidents with the maximum points last year had a 43% chance of drawing a license in area 53, 11% chance of drawing a license in area 57, 10% chance of drawing a license in area 58, 34% chance of drawing a license in area 59, 2% chance of drawing a license in area 60, 7% chance of drawing a license in area 61, 32% chance of drawing a license in area 90, 17% chance of drawing a license in area 91, 78% chance of drawing a license in area 92, an 88% chance of drawing a license in area 96, and an 18% chance of drawing a license in area 112. Those people are no longer competing with you in the preference point drawing, so your odds should be better. Drawing in areas 92 and 96 should be easy with maximum points this year, and area 68 only required one point last year. Success rates in 2007(results not out yet for 2008) were 84% in area 68, 89% in area 92, and 82% in area 96.
You should draw areas 92, 96, or 68, and you could list area 68 as a second choice with one of the others as your first choice.
