You can't even code a simple random number picker correctly.

I have to wonder if the numbers were all shifted by 1. Meaning that if 0 was a possible win, was the very last lottery entrant excluded completely (hence why people who had ticket #1 lost)

Two people in my FC won with their ticket being #1.. so I think this is not the case, but I could be interpreting what you're saying wrong, I'm not going to pretend I know anything about coding lol.

I dont think this can be the case. We're getting messages saying "No participants in the lottery" with a participant count of 1. And besides... Nobodies claiming any of the properties? Like a few plots vacant would make sense but dozens? Its definitely more than registering the first bid as bid 0

My ticket was #1 and I won.

It's more likely that every house had a default "Ticket 0", which would be the winner if no one entered the lottery on a plot (hence the "No Participants" message) to put it on bidding lock until the next round of lotteries, and someone forgot to make sure it would be excluded when player tickets were made (e.g. making sure the lower bound of the random number generator was 1 instead 0 if a player entered, or making sure it pulled from NumberOfTickets - 1 (because Ticket 0 exists) then adding + 1 to whatever was generated so that Ticket 0 would never be selected).

So instead of there just being Tickets 1, 2, 3 in the draw, there was actually Tickets 0, 1, 2, 3, with Ticket 0 actually being intended for plots with no participation.
