Not necessarily. Rather than making the tickets count from 0, it looks like there was an extra entry (ticket [0]) in the lotteries because someone forgot to tell the lottery program to exclude [0] when a ticket (which would be [1]) entered the data pool. That would explain why it displays "There were no participants in this lottery" if 0 was selected, since a lottery that has no entries would automatically roll [0] and return that string.

So if you had 4 people enter one lottery for a plot, it would normally be a 25% chance of winning - but it was actually 20% because ticket [0] was included.

This may be wrong though, because apparently people are now reporting they're not getting their refunds from 0 rolls because the lottery is saying that there were no participants and therefore no refund can be given.
