Does anyone ever actually win the Diversity Lottery?

March 11th, 2010 | Category: zjnz.com
  • I know some people do because it says so on the U.S. state department website, but the chances are so small ( like a .09% chance of winning) and all of the people usually come from the same area I'm wondering if it is really " completely random" or some kind of scam. Plus, whenever you ask anyone how they got they're green card very few people ever attribute it to the lottery. This is probably because only 50,000 ppl get one, it just seems kind of scammy to me.


  • The Diversity lottery is for real. Every single one of those winning slots are used.


  • I know personally 3 people who won DVL and got green card. One won in US and 2 won in their countries.


  • I think it's a scam.


  • the US government would never run any scams,
    the program is real,
    of course there so many people applying, not everyone can be picked,and yes it is random if the application is complete and conform to US regulations.
    # The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 and provides for a class of immigrants known as diversity immigrants. Section 203(c) of the INA provides a maximum of 55,000 Diversity Visas (DV) each fiscal year to be made available to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.


    The annual Diversity Visa program makes visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computer-generated, random lottery drawing chooses selectees for Diversity Visas. The visas are distributed among six geographic regions, with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to nationals of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. over the past five years. Within each region, no single country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any one year.#
