They have (or should have) the logs of who was in which FC at the point in time of the drawing. It is completely possible that they look at which FC's they were bidding on behalf of. I also suspect that resolving the problems with the first lottery is going to involve a lot of manual GM effort anyway to recover funds from those that refunded.
