Wife and I applied for the first time, on the last day, at the 11th hour. She was not only lucky to win it on the first year of applying but she also won with a fairly low number!

Glad it went ok! If you need help with translation let me know (I'm Spanish)

he's either waiting patiently to be handed the magical GC or he's already out celebrating!

Great advice! I recommend reading: The Millionaire Next Door, my wife bought it for me a while back and I loved it, it basically explains into more depth Simons points, with some very good examples.

Hi Moe, both my wife and I each have 2 surnames. On the initial application we wrote just one of them and in the DS260 we added in all names (just as it shows on our passports). I don't think this will be an issue, and if I remember correctly, the initial lottery entry form does not allow for...

Simon, out of curiosity, what's your situation? EU 2014 winner living in USA (work visa??) with an interview tomorrow?

Hilarious Franko!

Hi Durbin, Will do! We still haven't received 2nd letter, which might mean that our interview will be in November, but then again I dont think anyone from London has received their 2nd letters yet? I will certainly post our experiences and let you know!

winner winner chicken dinner!! We are number EU 4000 so we get to have the interview in October! Some questions in case someone feels like answering them, really thankful to who ever does! I'm guessing our interview will be on the 2nd week? How do we get notified? if by email, do we get...
