I did mine too, and got this info in the confirmation e-mail they sent:

Thank you for processing your Alumni Football Ticket Lottery Entry online!
You have been entered into a random ticket lottery. The Alumni Association is no longer using an alphabet break system to determine your specific game eligibility, and games are no longer pre-assigned. The Athletics Ticket Office is also no longer using the 'consecutive years' criteria to determine ticket priority. Names and games will be drawn randomly from all of the member ticket applications. There will be no special lottery for the Michigan game, and tickets to that game will be included in the random lottery along with all of the other home games. Additional information on the Alumni Association's ticket policy changes is available at www.ohiostatealumni.org/newscenter/football08.php.
DEFERRED PAYMENT AND LOTTERY NOTIFICATION: Your credit card has not been charged for game tickets at this time. Credit cards will be charged by the first week of July for those successful in the alumni ticket lottery. A random lottery will take place during the month of June and those who are successful will have their deferred payment processed for the price of the game tickets ($65 per ticket), and will be notified via e-mail in July. That particular notification will also include the game you won in the lottery. Please note there are NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. Once you have been selected for a game, it cannot be switched nor your money refunded due to your displeasure with the game or other factors.

Success breeds discontent?

Don't count on it. Think about it this way, you join the alumni association, and get the chance to buy tickets. You go and you buy your tickets a few years in a row, and you keep getting denied. How likely are you to stay in the alumni association? Now a person in theory has just as much chance as getting a ticket be it they have been a member for a year or twenty years. Which do you think gets more people to give money to the alumni association? |

This sucks! 
I've been driving up from NC for at least one game a year for 14 years now. My wife and three kids are in a "rotation" to see who goes to the game with me, so each only gets to go about once every 3 or 4 years (my wife usually defers 'til the bowl game). If we start missing years my kids are going to go all "Cain and Able" on me (who gets to go to Ohio with dad is a big deal in my house). Maybe I'll start a lottery system and just randomly select a kid to go with me... that'll go over big.
BOOOOO!!!!!!
Maybe it's time to sign up random neighbors in the OSU alumni association. How well do they check?

Very. They also have a drawer full of death certificates also, so they know when alumni die also. I know a few people who have gotten around this part, but seems like eventually they figure it out somehow. I also know people who have gotten married and they never tell the alumni association so that they can keep getting two ticket apps.
People like you are the ones that it is going to suck for the most I think, not only because of the situation with the wife and kids, but I would think that it may be hard for people farther away to make trip plans. They are not telling people what ticket they get until early July. The first game is in august. That is only 6-7 weeks to plan a trip, which could be hard for someone living farther away.
