I know I get a point/year for each species I put in a special permit for. My buddy is trying to tell me your points are squared. That is someone with 4 points will get 4x4=16 chances of being drawn. Another friend turned in a kid that shot a cow elk last season by mistake and they gave him 10 points to add to his already 18. That would imply he is getting 18x18=324 chances. Is that really the way it works here?

If so, please provide a link or other source as I can' t find it in the manual anywhere. Thanks!
