Land Lotteries As more natives leave, more land is available. Land is divided into square lots and the lots are drawn and matched with any male over 21 living in the state for 12 months that wanted the land. Lots ranged from 40 to 490 acres depending on the type of land. 6 lotteries were held over 28 years distributing 30 million acres of land to more than 100,000 people.
