Glad you asked, Chris. We'll make this the 2015 Whitney Permit Lottery thread.

I have been told there are no changes occurring to the lottery process this year. It will be the same as 2014.

Lottery entries can be made between Feb 1 and March 15. There is no advantage to entering early, as all entries are processed in one batch, in random order, after the entry period closes.

Edit 4-29-15:
For another Lottery/Permit thread, see this one:
Mount Whitney Lottery

On May 1, any permit slots won but not paid for will be returned to the system. They will be returned at random times, so checking throughout the day is required.
