There is an error in the system.

The Announced displayed the number 19937 on the screen, and you jumped out of the chair when you realized it was yours. You were so happy that you nearly missed your assigned mate's number. 1875... 1875. your mate's number is 1875. The odd part is that even though all numbers are randomly generated. They are always at least five digits long.

-----A little background on the Progenitor 100 Project -----

The birth rates of humanity have been declining; thus, many communities/areas have resulted in using a purge style event. (See https://chyoa.com/story/The-Pregnancy-Purge.9379) for example. However, after seeing how brutal and unsafe those events can be, your area decided to go with a drawing system. By which every year, one-hundred males are randomly assigned to one-hundred females.

Every year you are assigned a new number. If your single, your number is placed in the drawing ten times. A married person's number is placed in the drawing five times, and if you are married with children, your number goes in only once.

Once your number is drawn, you are required to have sex at every opportune moment until the female is pregnant (whether the 'winning' parties want actually to have sex with each other or not.)

Since the odds of two unmarried 'winners' Being drawn together is drastically higher than any other case, most parties end up getting married after their task is complete.

Within a manner of minutes, it was breaking news. Everyone wanted to know what was behind the four-digit number. Did you win the drawing just to be assigned now one? Those four digits became the biggest news of the year.

As a result, within an hour, the company behind The Progenitor 100 Project released a pressed statement.

"In the process of printing the number, the last digit of one card and the first digit of another were chopped off. As a result, there are two females out there with the number 1875."
