The golden ticket: How to sign up for the basketball lottery

"IT'S NOT FAIR NO NO NO!"  

— Me, literally every time I enter the lottery for men's basketball tickets and DON'T WIN ANY. EVER. WHICH I'M DEFINITELY NOT MAD ABOUT AT ALL. 

Fortunately I have lucky friends, (maybe they should buy a Powerball ticket?!), who win tickets and, bless their hearts, agree to take me. My unlucky streak inspires resentment, sadness and a need to find out how the lottery system actually works. 

First of all, you sign up for the lottery here, which took me (a clueless first-year) forever to figure out. After sifting through my endless HeelMail inbox to find my student pin number (which Carolina Athletics sends you in one of their first emails FYI), I finally signed up and could do nothing but wait. Endlessly.  

Here's a full version of all the rules, with important stuff highlighted here. 

How do I know if I'm one of the top 150 in Carolina Fever?? (I'm not...but on the bright side, I'm only 3,016 people away!) Check your points on the Carolina Fever website

May the odds be ever in your favor.
