if miss, you mean you really did not login by the lottery hour, my take on that is that it won't increase chances. my theory is that entries from yesterday (refreshes from yesterday) adds up to the refresh today..

and by the way, a refresh increments 1 entry to the lottery as I've been looking into the cache internals during lottery.

I haven't checked, but maybe if you refresh before 5 mins interval it will deduct one instead of add one.
