Quick ironman lottery observation

so i did the ironman lottery thing to see if i would get in.(kona). I got a dvd of last years race in the mail also in the package I came across the book of info and a list of the winners of the lottery. In the names some are with first name and middle name and some are with first and middle initial, some are shortened such as bob for robert,then with an initial. How many of you think some of these people regestered 2 or three times with different names to improve their chances of getting in. some examples,

like my name is chris

I could enter as
chris last name
christopher last name
chris Luke last name
christopher Luke
Chris L last name
Christopher L last name

any thoughts???

That’s alot of money to have marginallly better odds. It is still probably a longshot. i wish that I had the expendable income to enter the lottery that many times. It would be nice for a life where money is no object.
