The Final Fantasy XIV Housing Lottery is the system by which housing in Final Fantasy XIV is allocated. The system replaced a much less fair system in early 2022 by entering everyone who attempts to purchase a house into a lottery. The lottery runs on schedule giving players around a week to submit their tickets and potentially win the housing lottery. Below, we’ve listed the details, dates, and deadlines for the current Housing Lottery period.

How the Housing Lottery works in Final Fantasy XIV
In Final Fantasy XIV, the housing lottery gives players a fair chance to buy empty housing plots in-game. During the Housing Lottery Period, you’ll be able to place a bid on a house, provided you have enough money. Once you’ve paid the money, you’ll be entered into a lottery with anyone else making a purchase. If you’re the only one who placed a bid, you’ll win after the lottery concludes.
