(B) If the hunter is not convicted of a violation of this article arising from the occurrence precipitating the revocation of his privilege to participate in the lottery hunt, then he, without having to pay any fees associated with participation, may elect to:
(1) participate in the next lottery hunt of the type for which his privilege was revoked; or
