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

no, because then you can get a result of 7 when the only bids are 1 - 6, again, you are making an excellent example of why armchair devs aren't listened to.

Surely just if number = 0 just add 1 would fix it then?

So now you've given ticket 1 double the chance of every other ticket, which is honestly even worse.

... No it wouldn't? 0+1, 1+1, 2+1, and so forth.

In easy terms, we're (likely) looking at:

0+bids (which is what your initial "bug fix" suggestion still is)

tacking on +1 would just make it:
0+bids+1

so it would end up pulling, in an example of 5 bids on a house, anywhere from 0-6 (so 2 bids that don't exist). Further exacerbating the problem. They need to make it so that it the RNG does NOT at ALL consider 0 as a possible bid, UNLESS there are 0 bids.

They're saying that rand pulls a number from 0 to the upper limit, so if you just +1 you can end up with a ticket number that doesn't exist if it happens to draw the highest number.
