Lottery because most ( or many ) people pre-registered domains.

So if you have f.e 100 registrars and in each of them a different person pre-ordered a particular .eu domain, and each of the registrars were saying they are gonna submit the application at the very first minute today, then its basically a lottery on who will be faster. Yes, first come, first served, but overall its close to a lottery.

That was at least the case with .info and im 99% sure its similar now.
