If you’ve got kids or know anyone who does, there’s an online lottery taking place today for a chance to camp-out overnight in Central Park.

You have until 11:59 pm tonight (Tuesday, 8/21) to register for one of 30 coveted spots. The actual camp-out event will take place from 6:00 pm Saturday 9/1, to 8:00 am, Sunday 9/2.

I’m pretty sure this is an event for families. If you’re an adult that wants to do this alone, it’s called being “homeless” and you’re more than welcome to try it any night of the year.

Full details and the link to register are available here (click the “Manhattan” tab).
