Winning number 0 bug resolution

[Markfresh]

In my case , I was the only bidder on a private, and my FC mate was the only bidder on a FC house so we both won by default.
They should be able to see this and award us with out plot, if we have to re-do the lotto its just totally unfair.

In the case of the unlucky people who have had plots with multiple people bidding....... well im not sure where the error is, but it seems to me no matter if there was 3 or 33 bidders the rng has selected "0" as the winner in every case.
Which would tell me that there is none of this 0 add 1 or whatever people are saying, because its not like if only 6 people entered and "0" was included that person 5 won where it should of been 6, NO ONE has won.
So they then need to take all the people who bid on the plot and generate a rng roll for those people and whoever wins wins, which is exactly what would of happened if implemented correctly.

My point exactly!
I was aware of my chances being up against the participants 1 and 2, not 0, 1, and 2. And after reviewing the announcement about this lotto, there was no mention of this even being a possible probability..
Theorizing that this was there intention, the coders are not to blame, but the promotional/editors are to blame for this false advertisement to the community.
As written:

One winning entry will be randomly selected from the pool of applicants, and the player who submitted that entry will gain the ability to finalize their purchase of the plot.

I wish I hadn't taken the refund just to be safe, but I'm not so flush with gil that losing 8 mil on a fix taking longer than I have to get the refund wouldn't hurt.

You have/had until July 19th to claim a refund. I understand the worry about losing your gil but sadly many decided not to wait for a fix.
