Got one! I was delayed and didn't login until 7:30. Waited a few minutes for a ticket to be allocated and then needed to open and close payment window a few times before redirected to the survey.

Do you think preference is given based on location? Am currently in Vietnam.

Better than 8 instances of not finding any tickets, despite starting at 07:00 sharp...

I'm getting registration closed messages now. 6 instances of getting a ticket slot and having wallet time out. Disappointed.

Same, except it was 4AM sharp here.

Do 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.

A queueing system that makes you go back to the start of the line, over and over.
