allow people the freedom of requesting a wide range of dates, as in the paper lottery, without financial hardship.
LAST YEAR'S PROCESS WHERE MULTIPLE DATES HAD TO BE SPECIFIED INSTEAD OF A RANGE OF DATES WAS DEFINITELY BURDENSOME.
Unfortunately, Tom, the "wide range of dates" also came in this sentence: "Folks that want to apply for a wide range of dates could use multiple applications;"
It appears to me that they are NOT trying to upgrade the application to specify a date range. That means you would need to pay that $6 per application for up to 15 specific start dates. Then do it all over again for the next 15 dates. Pretty burdensome, both in time and money!
As a software developer myself, I KNOW writing the code to process a date range is NOT DIFFICULT. Getting the lottery application people to allow a date range should be the highest priority, in my opinion.
