How exactly does the Kentucky basketball lottery even work?

It's been about 10 years since I've been but I think it's still the same.

There are batches of 4 or 5 games at a time and the lotteries are usually at 9 or 10 on a random Monday or Tuesday night. Everyone the enters the gym gets a number. Once everyone is in they draw the lottery positions in groups of 50, 1-50, 51-100, 101-150, etc. and post the order for everyone to see. If you're near the bottom you go home an hope there are tickets left the next morning.
