House Lotteries Rolling 0

It's almost like the real lottery was whether or not your plot was bugged :\

My FC had a bunch of tickets on a plot in Empyreum ward 14 subdiv, we were the only bidders, and lost it to 0. When non-bidders check the lottery results, the dialog claims there were no participants.

I bid on lot 24 ward 21, same deal -- lost to #0 and the dialog claims no participants (I have not accepted the refund). Many FC members bid on plots in the same ward, and only 2 of them actually got their plots. The rest bugged -- no one had contested bids but all lost to #0.

I'm a patient person but honestly, it's nerve-wracking having a week-long lottery period, hoping for no one to contest your bid, only to have a sure-thing bug at the end. It's not even just a couple of people -- I've done a run through Empyreum here on Sephirot and so many placards I've clicked that have participants has the 'no participants' result message. Plus the folks on this thread.

I really hope SE will find a way to honour the current lottery.

■ Character name: Sybil Ootsuki, Darien Panda, Aenja Djt-marouc (neither of us 3 did refund), D'eimos Moonight, Erialia Fehuter (they both refunded by mistake).

Essentially the issue everyone else is having. We bid 5 times as FC for Empyreum Ward 11 Plot 52 on OMEGA. On lottery drawings, the entry #0 was the winner so we can't get the plot. Also two of the entrants refunded the money by mistake thinking that some of the other 3 had won. Screenshot for reference.

Some people might argue that a rollback will heavily upset people, but many are upset already so what are the next (I hope early) steps? The ideal would be to just redo the lottery without letting any new participations; or maybe rollback JUST the bugged plots.

Same here in Coeurl

Our FC put in the only 4 bids for a Large and we got 0 as winner. The other 2 large houses in our ward had the same problem. There's no way this is intentional.

Same problem
Date & Time: April 16th, 2022
Frequency: N/A
World name: Odin
Housing: Empyreum, Ward 24, plot 21
Steps:
1. Enter lottery.
2. 7 participants
3. As result ... 0.....
p.s. btw , I returned the money because I was afraid of losing them
judging by the message, no one could get 0 on the ticket, and now what about the second round with 1000 participants?

Had the same issue in Empyreum, Ward 8, Plot 11. Three bids, winning result was 0. Lottery results now "There were no participants in this lottery" despite there being three participants.

Same issue as others, so bummed about this

It happened here too. Only 2 entries, both from the same FC, and the winner is 0.

Empyreum, plot 11, ward 4
I also already took back my gil, I was afraid I'd lose that too.

Same issue for me!

Cerberus, Ward 9, Plot 1

The only 2 Participants were myself and a friend from the FC but #0 won, both cannot claim the plot at all.

Picture

I, stupidly, accepted the money back because I assumed #0 Winning was a visual bug like the Ward and Plot Numbers being mixed up in the Lottery confirmation message.

I'll happily throw away Gil in a way determined by GMs etc if it means I'll get the plot
