While the OCC assigns option excercises on a random basis, most broker dealers use the FIFO method. Since you puts were "aged" you were probably first on line. Some firms will actually tell client their "place in line" regarding excercise -- something to keep in mind next time you have a deep in the money short that you have held for a long time.
