The old houses were still excluded from the lottery, so you can just move them back to the old house. Only the next lottery cycle the plot would be free to bid on. Their action of extending the current result timer is on that the best thing they can do while investigating the issue.

The real issue is that some players who got a house, might have bought furnishing from the market, if that would revert, and the next roll they dont get a house. Those things could become a problem, because you cant just revert a sale without issues. But this is only a problem when the generator doesnt give proper random numbers and favors some above others. I suspect they used a standard pseudo generator that is random enough to not be an issue (even if it was considered secure 20y ago, thats already random enough for these lotteries, because there is no spamming aspect that normaly breaks those algoritms).

Unless someone knew which generator they used, and that generator having some sort of timing issue that favors certain value, i do not see any reason to revert any winner (even though i would like to get another chance)
