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

It shows a lack of testing too. The issue is so rampant if they'd have tested the lottery not even on the scale of a ward they'd have noticed right away.

There are reports that the issue is more to do with the effect recent emergency maintenance had on the lottery. In short, if you placed your bid before the maintenance then for whatever reason it wasn't counted or was made invalid. That also explains why, plots with multiple bids, the winners have been the later (higher numbered) bids.

Nah, some people won plots having bid before the maint, and others have got the error having bid after the maint. Majority of my fc bid after the maint and we still got the error.

We did however, notice that the ward and plot numbers were mixed up (so at least in the line that confirmed that we bid, we bid on a plot in "ward 60" when we actually bid on plot #60).
