Now, you have to pay through iFlyer, and if you don't, your ticket is released back into the pool for the next round lottery. In the past what had happened was a lot of people had won tickets, and then never claimed (and thus paid) for them. So the language in the lottery about not being eligible for future lotteries is just another lazy Avex example of not updating text, as opposed to still really being the situation.
A bit not true on the unpaid tickets being roll over to the next lottery as my friend had dropped 3 tickets for the 18th July concert but the 18th July ticket wasn't available for ballot during the 2nd round. IMO the penalty for not paying the winning ticket is just a scheme to "threaten" people so they don't anyhow bid and forfeit the tickets.
