It's ridiculous. Lottery isn't the "answer". Is it really that hard to add more housing districts to meet demand? I bought all the mounts, minions, emotes in the cash shop. I've spent over $1500 last year and have pre-orders for another $600 in their regular store. I'd have no problem forking over more money just to get out of this constant annoyance of trying to secure a lot. Call it the "whale district" (a term used for people who spend way too much cash on cash shops) if they must. They can use that money to upgrade the servers to allow more districts for everyone else if it's simply a matter of resources. Or they should be pressed to answer the question as to why they cannot create more districts to meet demand.
