Hi. Have the winners of the VIG lottery been informed of their status/good fortune? If not, is there a timeline for this? Thanks.

Thank you. Was hoping my colleague or I would make it. 
Next year I guess.

I thought the VIG lottery would be done a day or two before the registration for new VIG registration. This year being February 14/15 2025

That drawing takes place in December after all the entries are in.

Do they normally open up more before general housing reservation opens?

No, you can only enter the drawing during a specified time in November-December (November 15th, 2025 through December 1st, 2025 for Gen Con 2026).

My friend and I both entered during the timeframe solicited but no luck. Will reset a reminder for emailing for 2026 and pray for an early hotel lottery draw.
