Wow, so you hadn't used your first chance or what?
EDIT: Ok, I should've checked your location first
I actually ended up being disqualified the first time for applying as a New Zealander instead of my country of birth Australia (I have dual citizenship)
still got two weeks to participate

I think this would only be a serious problem if you'd won but had been disqualified for some other reason.
