One other data point related to
@DennyDoyle'sBoil ‘s post mentioning the euros that may be relevant. As most of you know, Germany is hosting this year. I and a bunch of friends entered the lottery for a bunch of games. Some in other cities, I admittedly only chose Berlin. *None* of us got a single game, except one guy who got literally everything he put in for, including the FINAL! Something I reminded him of when I brought him to the first Union UCL game haha.
That was like 8 of us that got shut out. I have to think that our German addresses did not help our cause. That was the first time I entered for an event like this and got skunked.
