Yay.

Once this issue has been resolved, and lottery results can be relayed to the housing data servers without issue, it will be possible to confirm the lottery winners. Furthermore, players who registered for the lottery at the affected plots will not be required to register a second time. We ask for your patience as we work to recover data containing the results for these plots.
What does this mean? Like, I can take it in two ways as in either they're going to give the right winners the plot or we won't have to go back to the placard and register for the lottery again when they decide to unpause the system.
