The number of people who win a house and who have withdrawn their gil is going to be very small. In addition some will pay when the time comes. It is a perfect solution no but given the issues of getting an npc ready the alternative would have been to hold up the lottery rounds until 6.2 and that's not going to happen. It's already taken way to long to get this issue resolved hopefully on the 16th.

Lets hope there aren't any additional issues then.
