The lottery that was announced in August saw a total of 1.34 lakh applications, however, 1.13 lakh applicants made the earnest amount deposit (EMD) for the desired apartment. It is due to this reason that 1.13 lakh applicants were eligible for the lottery, according to MHADA officials.

The MHADA lottery 2023 had received more than 1 lakh applications for over 4,000 affordable homes that were up for sale.

Haresh Gami, a Mumbai resident, who won a house in Mumbai's Goregaon area said, "Our family was growing and we were in dire need of upgrading to a bigger apartment. We had applied in the middle income group in which my daughter has won a 2 BHK apartment in Mumbai's Goregaon. The cost of the flat is around ₹1.10 crore."

Jayshree Hotkar, who has won a house in Mumbai's Vikhroli area, said, "I own a house in Titwala which is around two hours away from Mumbai. However, I had to travel to Mumbai daily for work which was difficult and hence after filling applications for at least 25 homes in MHADA lottery 2024, I have managed to win a house in Vikhroli. I will now shift to the new house in the coming months."
