According to the eligibility page, I'm seeing:

"You are now one out of 421,843 eligible beta candidates."

It's been at that number since the registration ended, and I'm almost certain it's worldwide, since they didn't say U.S.-only until today.

I like my odds.

That was the number it showed when it ended and that is the number of worldwide participants. Your odds will now be significantly higher at the expense of my odds plummeting to zero :(

If it makes you feel better, I didn't get one, either.

The random number generator must have been racist against me specifically. Yeah, that's the ticket.
