    DV 2020?

    I am also guilty of hoping on very soon after the results became available. Ive spent all year just moving on with my life but there is just something about being so close to knowing that is sending me crazy !! haha. Every year I think I might even forget to check for a few days !! FAT CHANCE...

    DV 2020?

    I don't think its silly to have plans at all. We have been the same. Yes we all know its a lottery but we can't help but dream of a different future at this time of year. We have a pretty nice life really, but we LOVE the USA and have family there, so we keep dreaming, and making plans !!

    DV 2020?

    Another year and another crack at being drawn, I had so many technical issues this year I actually thought I was going to run out of time to get it done before entry closes, but I am in again.. Good luck everyone, may we all get lucky this year and have, whatever our dreams are, come true :-)

    DV 2019 Will Be Soon!!!!!!!

    Hey there, I am starting to think about it a little more now its getting closer. I haven't entered for a few years, last time was 2015 when it went crazy and they drew far too many people so there were lots of 'winners' but a huge amount never made it to interview. We since moved to Canada for a...

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    We have just returned to Ontario from a 10 day road trip down the eastern side to Florida. West Virgina/Virginia/North Carolina are (almost) as beautiful as NZ lol. I really wish we were getting our green card now ! My Fav stop was Savannah in Georgia, that place is amazing.

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    I am sorry to hear that. Neither My Husband or myself were selected this year either :-( We have just done a road trip from Toronto to Florida and had the BEST time, so it was quite sad to find that its not happening next year for us either.

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    We also kept our property in New Zealand when we left for Canada. The first few months here were really hard, much harder than I anticipated, I didn't really think about 'culture shock' when moving to another commonwealth country. Canada is way more American than they would like to admit LOL...
