    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.
    The lottery was not fair and was rigged.
    Assuming there are 4 bidders, each one should have 25% chance of winning.

    So when the lottery system rolls from 0 to 100 a 24, the first ticket should have won. However, because there was a 5th "ghost" person, there is now 20% chance of winning for each person.
    That means now the winning range of the first ticket is reduced from being 0 to 25 to being 0 to 20.

    Henceforth, with a roll at 24, where the first ticket should have won, now the 2nd ticket has won instead.

    This is a scam and this is not fair, period.
