Applying for J1 after applying for the green card lottery?

Hi everyone,

I applied for the DV2016 back in October 2014 (excited to see whether I was selected next month!). If I don't get selected for further processing, I was hoping to apply for a J1 visa to work in the US for a year (and then apply for an E3 so I can stay longer).

I know the J1 is a non-immigrant visa (I've had one before to do a university exchange) and am wondering if my DV2016 application will stop me from getting another J1 later this year.

Thanks!
 
Hello! I have the same question, but I've never won the lottery. Does application to the DV2016 undermine chances of receiving J-1?
