I am 100% fine with this. The whole point of the lottery system was to make it fair, and this was in no way, shape or form fair at all. Do I think people should suffer who actually won one? No, I do not. But if there was indeed a bug, then they should do a full reroll on all plots. Because it states in the terms and service that you are not to take advantage of a bug, and you need to report it. Letting people keep their houses is a technical violation of the terms and services.

But on a different note. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE that I had spoken to that put in for a plot, that put in their bid before emergency maintenance are the ones suffering from this, and the 3 or 4 people I know that actually won their plot, did so from bids placed after emergency maintenance. I don't know if there is a connection to this. But another thing that I noticed was before the game went down. I was growing the new flowers - and all of them. All 6 pots turned out their default colors. Despite the fact that I used pomace on them to make them blue and purple. So something happened, and they got reset to the state they were in BEFORE I gave them pomace to change their color. I did report this.
