Oh, that definitely happens. There are first-timers winning mediums and larges. There are likely more first timers losing mediums and larges than winning them. And then they have to fight for what's left. It all depends on what their priority is. If they prefer the higher chance of winning nothing at all and having no house vs owning a medium or large, then that's their prerogative. However, these same players shouldn't complain if they can't get a small then. Of course, there are probably still servers were every small in the new non-FC-only wards all went in the first lottery. I'm on a medium-to-high population server and supposedly one of the higher "active population" servers- and we had at least 100 open smalls across all 5 districts in the private-buyer wards.
