FIRST Choice 3D Printer Lottery

Can anyone explain how the 3D printer lottery works on FIRST Choice? I was trying to find a thread or more details and didn't see any.

The "lottery" costs 150 Choice points. I assume you have to be in the lottery to collect one of the 600-point printers?
Also, if you don't win the lottery do you get those points back to spend elsewhere?

I'm curious as to your odds of winning the lottery -- basically, what are the odds that you want a 3D printer, don't get it, and now are stuck unable to get anything else because all the good stuff has been taken?

Seems a bit strange we are going through this type of gambling in FRC
