Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm stuck in the wallet land as well.
Closing out and re-opening that modal a few times eventually got it to work.
I had to try the wallet modal 4 times before it worked for me. Left me with under a minute remaining..

#82Do you think they are biased towards Android/Chrome user agent strings for the lottery?
...it's not a lottery, it's a queueing system. And no, I don't think they're biased.

#83Got a ticket reserved, but then Google Wallet was failing to load my credit card data. After 4:30 of waiting, it finally kicked in and I kicked off a purchase, only to have the timer run out before it finished. So now I've got a pending $900 charge on my Google Wallet account. Guess I get to see if that actually goes through and I get a ticket. Edit: Google has cancelled the $900 charge and I now do not have a ticket…
In fact I have two pending $900 charges on my Google Wallet account.
I have one pending.......

#84I think it will be interesting to look at the numbers and the queuing challenges faced by Google during Nexus4/10 launch and io2013, if they ever release it

#85I got kicked out in my fifth round. I had to sign in again to get back to registration. I guess their Google I/O session server is so congested that my token got expired...

#88I got in once after 4 6 minute waits. I was stuck on the wallet loading screen as I watched the timer go to zero.
I got in again and hit buy, only to be told there was some problem talking to the merchant account. Kicked back to the "we found you a ticket" screen. Got stuck for a minute or so on the wallet load again, then kicked back. Got back to the buy screen, entered a new card just in case, and got the same merchant error. Tried again, and my ticket timed out after hitting buy but before anything happened.
UPDATE: And registration closed without me getting another chance. :(

#90Just got a ticket after 3 timeouts, and Google Wallet taking almost the full 6 minutes to process.
