West Virginia University students may enter a lottery for 500 tickets reserved for the Mountaineers2006 Bowl Championship Series game.

Students should log onto the student ticketing Web site at www.wvugame.com and follow the same procedure used during the regular season football ticketing process. Loyalty points accumulated during the 2005 football season will be factored into the lottery process.

The 48-hour request period begins at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, and ends at 11:59 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9. Students will be notified of their status via e-mail on the morning of Dec. 10.

Winning students must claim their tickets online Dec. 10 or 11. They must print a voucher and bring that, along with their student ID, to the Mountaineer Ticket Office to purchase a bowl ticket on Monday, Dec. 12, or Tuesday, Dec. 13.

Each winning student is entitled to purchase one $85 ticket. No phone orders will be accepted.
