No one here can predict when your CN will become current, you just have to remain patient and continue to check the VB every month.

p.s. Please don't duplicate the same post over several Threads, post once and wait for a response.

If your case is charged to Egypt, this is a rather high case number.
Egypt will possibly hit a country limit (3,850 visas). Without having the CEAC extracts to judge the current demand from Egypt, it's hard to say if your case ever will become current.
As a comparison:
In DV-2015 Egypt came close to the country limit while the maximal case number charged to Egypt was below 30,000 (@Britsimon?).
 
@threedyart.
To be more precise.
If there is the same demand from Egyptian cases with numbers in the range 30,000–42,000 as from those with lower numbers, there is little hope for 2017AF42###.
But maybe you're an outlier, i.e. there are actually only a handful of Egyptian cases above 30,000, and you're one of them. If so, your case will become current. Again, I can't judge your case w/o CEAC.

Egypt is tough to predict. As you say Roger we don't have the CEAC data, and I can't quite remember max assigned Egyptian case numbers in DV2016 or DV2015. DV2016 had fewer selectees (about 4000 compared to 4500 in DV2017 first draw) and from that Egypt took 2855 visas. So - we know the first draw will be approvable demand above 3000. However, we do not know how many Egyptians were selected in the second draw. I assume @threedyart is a second draw selectee (please confirm), because that number seems extremely high for first draw. Country case density tends to be uniform until the selection limits are hit, and I have heard of other similar high case numbers for Egypt so I don't think that is an outlier.

Anyway, all of that is just a long way to say "I don't know" and no one else can know either. So - "wait and see" is the only sensible answer.
