SECTION 4 · lr

The author concludes the lottery didn’t give all entrants an equal chance of winning. Why not? Because 90 percent of the people who won had entered within the first 2 days of the registration period, which was 30 days long.

The author assumes the lottery gave early entrants a more-than-even chance of winning, and that’s why most people who won had entered early. In particular, this means assuming that significantly fewer than 90 percent of the total entries were submitted within the first 2 days.

This is irrelevant. It makes no claim about the timing of lottery entries or the selection process. If anything, it suggests the lottery is more likely to have been fair, not less.

This is irrelevant. It doesn’t say that method gave any early entrants a higher chance of winning.

This makes concrete the author’s primary assumption: that fewer than 90 percent of the total entries were submitted in the first two days. It makes it less likely that pure chance caused most of the winners to be early entrants.

This is irrelevant. It doesn’t say those rules gave early entrants a better chance of winning than late entrants.

This is irrelevant. It doesn’t imply the lottery organizers selected winners before the contest ended, or that they gave early entrants a better chance of winning.
