Random selection process was conducted some time ago, simply the announcement of DV lottery results ("selection for further processing") will happen beginning of May.

Hmmm, would you seriously expect this information to be published before even random DV 2017 selection results have been announced?

I don't think that information is available yet but for sure Millions of people from all over the world and just a few get the lucky numbers

hint: EURO2014. Not quite sure what you mean exactly with "system takes some time to run and obtain the selected numbers". If you mean IT processing time, probably around 1/10 of a second...

2014 was your lucky year then that's good. I was meaning that what ever system they use. I'm sure it takes a couple of hours or days who knows on getting the selected numbers from the Millions of applicants
. Purely on a System IT standpoint

I'm quite certain their engineers don't have a process that can randomly sort and number 12 million entries in 1/10 second. Their IT department hasn't exactly set a high standard over the last few years....

Well, "2017 Entrant Status Check2014 was your lucky year then that's good. I was meaning that what ever system they use. I'm sure it takes a couple of hours or days who knows on getting the selected numbers from the Millions of applicants
DV-2017 Entrants may enter their confirmation information through the link below starting at noon (EDT) on May 3, 2016."
It might be worth re-checking on May 4th or 5th, just to be sure, but May 3, 2016 will be the magic day for a select few.

No doubt May 3, 2016 will be crazy for those servers at least for the first initial hours. Its a life changing day for a few.

Yes, maybe. Yet let's not forget, 12:00 pm EST means middle of the night for other parts of the world. Many other folks will simply forget to check... So ultimately the whole process will spread out over weeks and probably months. Also, please don't overlook one important aspect in the announcement: "starting at noon (EDT) on May 3, 2016", which suggests that you may be able to confirm only later, if system required

For the last few years, their servers have buckled under the traffic for the first few hours. This year will be the same...
