Reggin, congratulations bud. It must be a weight off your mind. Were you asked about your financial situation? I am just wondering what procedures they're using on Australians.
No questions about proof of funds or anything like that however I did take documents just incase. All I got asked was if I had a friend/family member in the US to which I answered yes and if I would be staying with them upon my arrival to which i answered yes, as well as a couple questions about my previous trips to the US which were all under the VWP, if I had stayed more than 90 on any one visit and that was it

Question re police checks
Hi
I was just wondering, with regards to the police checks, I am Australian (and the primary applicant) and will therefore get a police check from the state we live in. My husband however is a Canadian who has lived in Australia for the last 2 years, but before that lived in the US working for a number of years.
Will he have to provide certificates for both Australia AND the United States? (he hasn't lived in Canada for a while now), or just Australia from the Federal Police?
I know I only just entered the lottery, but I love to know all the info "just in case".
Warm wishes

PABLO, does that mean you were asked for an affidavit of support? Or just a bank statement?
The DV policy is unclear on this point and most people don't seem to be asked for the affidavit. Understandable that they want one but also difficult given that many DV winners have no personal connection to the U.S. and will therefore struggle to make the requirement.
