Lost to a zero

update from Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida regarding the ongoing issue with the housing lottery system.

Suspension of Plot Purchases and Relocation in Patch 6.11
The maintenance for Patch 6.11 will impose a temporary suspension of plot purchases and relocation for all players, including winners of the recent lottery. This suspension will continue until the fixes and data restoration for the housing lottery system have been successfully implemented. We encourage all players to finalize their winning claims or relocation plans before Tuesday, April 26, when the Patch 6.11 maintenance is scheduled to take place.

I left my money in the Lottery is it safe or do I need to take it out? They have never told the one who left money in the lottery what to do. I mean they never said leave in so Im confused.

If you were one of the ones with a winner of 0 and no participants, then I'd leave your money there until they say otherwise. They know the lottery winners on those plots and the issue was communicating that between systems. If you did win and leave your money there, then it can be finalized when they fix the issue like the other wins that were able to be communicated.

They've had some people who withdrew their money not realizing and of course that complicates things because if they did win, they can't collect that gil easily now in an automated manner.

And even IF something came to pass like the poster above me, they're not going to just say "Too bad, so sorry". They will find a way to restore what is lost. So I feel that you can trust keeping your gil in there until they give the all clear.
