I also confirm having received this email, so it is definitely true news! My bitcoins were refunded.
But I agree, myfe or wetsuit should post this email also in this topic (and in the topic for micro earnings).

so, did someone figure out a vulnerability and exploit it to increase his chance on lottery or what?
nothing on the site as well, usually they put a notification for important news on the front page

No, it was a problem with the Twitter API.

Dear FreeBitco.in user,

Due to an issue with Twitter's API, our automatic drawing system for Lottery Round 144 (scheduled for Sunday, March 4 2018) experienced a failure and was unable to proceed with the picking of winners.

We would like to profusely apologize for this inconvenience and have added checks to ensure that this does not happen again.

We shall be refunding the cash equivalent of the tickets that you had in this round (1 satoshi per ticket) directly to your account balance and cancelling lottery round 144. You can use this credit to participate in lottery round 145 or for any other purpose on the website.

Since you had 24117 tickets in lottery round 144, we have credited your account balance with 24117 satoshi (0.00024117 BTC).

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconveneince this may have caused and we have modified our drawing system accordingly so that failure in third-party services will not affect our drawing system in the future.
