Good day to all of you, albeit being in the midst of this chaos.

As we have all seen, people have been speculating about what is happening to the lottery system.
So far, there is only one possible guess (Yes, at best it is only a guess, what can we do).

The theory about the hotfix messes with the number of participants had been proven to be wrong, and so what is left to us?

The possibility that the index 0 was accidentally added to the pool of participants, messes with the number of outcomes of the lottery.
For example, a house with only one buyer (lottery no. 1) was basically randomed with no. 0, thus making it a 50% chance of the only buyer getting the house.
And this applies to any number of buyers as well, so it would be a 33% chance of someone getting it if there were two participants, etc.

While that was a plausible theory, there is a more strict, more logical theory.

The number of people randomed in the pool is not wrong, e.g. for a house with only one buyer, instead of the accidentally added no. 0 that resulted in two numbers in the pool, the number stayed at 1. HOWEVER, the index shifted, as they was wrongly programmed to start from 0, instead of 1.

What this means is that there's only one number in the pool, so it's a 100% chance for that number to become the winner, but instead of no. 1, it was no. 0.

That doesn't seem to be too big of a problem now, does it?
Well, it does, when the number of participants is more than a single person.
Let's assume now there are two participants, no. 1 and no. 2.
Instead of both no. 1 and no. 2 having an equal 50% chance of winning, it was shifted so that the randomized number was 0 and 1, resulting in no. 1 having 50% chance to win and no. 2, or the latest entry, with NO CHANCE AT ALL to win the lottery.

So far everything checks out with this theory.

Why is this important? Why are we playing detective here?
Because I want to ask all of you to let's think together, about what could be the solution to this problem and spread the awareness of it.

I understand for some people, who got their winning number and already went through the hassle of moving out, it would be disheartening to have all that effort wasted.
The solution can't be as simple as, "well just give those people with no. 0 winner their house", because if it truly is like how we theorized it is, it is very unfair to the people who put their entry last, because they had 0 chance to win from the start.

And we can't just "well shift the number up by one and problem solved", yeah, but, again, there are tons of people who already moved and claimed their new houses. Would it be fair for them to have their house revoked?
