Yes, as has been noted many, many times in this forum log numbers are randomly assigned.
Application period ends.
All applications put into system
Computer generates log numbers totally at random same as playing Power Ball or Mega Millions.
One person could apply moments after window for accepting applications opens and receive log number of 89,500.
Another person could squeak in an application moments before window closes and receive log number of 10 for same lottery.
There is no rhyme nor reason, it's all just pure luck of the draw.
