That's why I'm asking the dev team to disclose stuff because as it is right now, there's only one word that come to my mind: the full system was a scam.
If there are five entries and one "zero ticket" (regardless of why it exists) and the lottery is perfectly fair, the "six" tickets all have a one-in-six equal chance of winning.

The fact that in this circumstance the zero can win does not make it a "scam", it makes it a fair contest with a chance that the contest will not have a winner (regardless of the reason for that chance existing, though a big seems far more likely than a deliberate inclusion).

Regardless of this chance of failure, in the circumstance that someone does win the lottery, the lottery was fair between those entrants.
