How this list is ranked
Ranked by draw difficulty from the state agency's own published draw results (points-to-draw in points states, draw percentage in odds states), tie-broken by federal public land.
Data year: 2026. Each row links to its full page with every number cited to its agency source. A place missing a signal is never guessed — it simply can't rank.
