Need more wards.

It's a lottery, there is no strategy for winning.

Since the system is more of a targeted raffle than a lottery, there are some strategies that might improve the chances of winning though not guarantee it.

That's especially true for those who are trying to get any plot, not a specific plot. With the current number of available houses on most worlds, someone can greatly improve their chances by waiting until the last minute to bid on a less desirable plot with no other bids, or at most one other bid. Someone else could still do the same, of course, but that's still better than immediately entering when the lottery starts just to find 7 other players also entered for the same one over the next 5 days.
