Edit: Please ignore all of this. Teams can win twice in the 5 years, not once.
CHI won the lotto last season, therefore they can't move up again for the next 5 seasons. I just realized, however, that the rule isn't that they can't win the lottery, only that they can't benefit from winning the lottery.
So... a very likely scenario is that CHI wins one of the two lottos and, although they can't benefit from it, they still screw someone else out of winning it.
