The lotto winner.... number ZERO? Are you serious???

[Seraphor]

Actually no. They are not valid. If there is an issue with the coding. That means the next person in line would have won. Not the person who did win. Therefore, invalid.

Not it doesn't, because many plots won on the last bidder. They got 6 bids, and it went to no. 6.
It isn't a case of every ticket should have been the one before it, it is a case of there being an additional 'void' ticket in every lottery.
Instead of there being 4 tickets for 4 players, there were 5 tickets, they had a 20% chance to win instead of a 25% chance. But whoever won, still won, and their win is valid.

I know those who lost their plot to this bug aren't going to like it, but the fairest thing they can do is to not roll back anything, fix the issue and say "try again next week".

Yes. That would mean instead of number 6, it rounded back to ticket 1 as the winner. And no, Fuck that. I spent 200mil and waited at this plot. I dont' care if you won a plot (You clearly did). It's either fixed or they are losing tons of subs over a coding issue. Let alone all the negative press it's gonna have towards the competency going forward and concerns over ultimate

Your maths is horribly wrong. You're saying tickets should be 1 less now?
So whoever was no. 0 (the void) should have been -1?
If someone won their lottery with the first ticket, then that means it SHOULD have been a 0?

I didn't win a plot, I said as much already.

Point still stands, more people won plots than plots got zero'ed, rolling back pisses off more people.

The fairest thing they can do is patch, roll back, and re-do the lottery. Every single person that didn't win could have lost due to a bug, every person who did win also could have done so with the benefit of a bug. There is no way to leave results as is and consider it fair. Lotteries only work when everyone has a fair chance, no one here did. Leaving the results as is throws potentially more players into a narrowed pool of available plots. For many people looking to upgrade their house, or get their first, this is a huge blow and frankly it's upsetting how many people I see with "screw you I got mine" mentalities.

Not fair at all to these who have now started putting items in their homes, have started to make gardens. Punishing winners is not how you fix it. They are going to do a reroll on houses unclaimed.

l don't know why people are saying the winner was +1. that's not how rng rolls work. You were dice rolling with 0 as another party.
