Does wining the guest autograph lottery guarantee autograph session?
I won the lottery for a guest autograph session (Kazuo Maekawa) and got the link to reserve ticket for either the Thursday 1PM session or the Friday 10:45AM session. However, because I am waiting for a certain panel to announce, I don’t want the autograph and the panel to crash together. Is it okay if I reserve my ticket for a specific time slot at a later time? Like- would my spot be guaranteed as long as I won the lottery?
In sum: Does wining the guest autograph lottery guarantee autograph session, even if you don’t reserve the ticket (for the session) now? Will the availability spot run out?
(I’m waiting for Hoyoverse’s (either Genshin or HSR) panel announcement. I think they did it on Friday and Saturday last year? But I’m not sure about this year).

You gotta confirm your autograph reservation ASAP and hope for the best
The odds of the Honkai panel being on day 1 is very low so I would go for Thursday

I’m also waiting for a company to announce things and this is why I went with day 1 for that auto, hoping it’ll be the least likely day for anything popular

Thursday generally don’t have anything too popular based on my experience last two years, but my “what if they decide to change things this year” anxiety is still ticking XD

Ahh guess I’ll just have to reserve the Thursday session and pray for the best 🥲

You have one week from the time you win the autograph to reserve your spot, after that you’ll lose it!
