Sen.-elect Kay Hagan will also hold a lottery.

Spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan said the Greensboro Democrat received more than 2,000 individual e-mails, all asking for more than one ticket to Barack Obama's inauguration.

"I would guess that it was somewhere in the range of 4,000 individual ticket requests," she said.

Hagan will take "a very limited number" of tickets for friends and family from the 393 she received as a senator-elect. The rest will go to a lottery of the requests sometime in the next two weeks, Flanagan said.
