I don't think it's that 0 was in the pool so much as it just voided any bids on plots in general. I don't think it would say there are no active participants as opposed to just saying the winning number.



I don't have a screenshot for the second instance as I looked around this morning to see who got affected, but I recall seeing a small house that said "The winning number was 3" that wasn't claimed yet, and is now.

EDIT: Nevermind I found one.
