Dv 2012
- Thread starter Shihabmh
- Start date
All my family is back in Africa, they also played the lottery this year for the first time. This will be my 6th time. This is just my thinking, but I assume since KCC always open and closed the DV application at 12pm USA eastern time I think they might release the results again at 12pm, which means 5 or 6pm Africa time, depending where in Africa.... Again just a guess.

What Boer said makes sense to me. I believe also that their system may crash owning to the fact that so many people will want to check the results since there is no
letter sending this year. If that happens, we have to wait until they will fix it which means probably on Monday... I read an article which said that it's better to wait and to not check everyone on May 1st. But tell me, who can wait? We are counting even the hours...

You think that each starts at sunset because the Bible says so? Goodness, the US is a secular country and it is not governed by a holy book.
This forum is turning into an evangelical festival.
My opinion is that the results will be released according to the standard USA eastern time...which is normally the time the application starts and closes (midday), but then they have not said anywhere (as far as am aware of) whether it will be midnight or midday... all my instinct tells me is that the winners have already been chosen! ... and it will just be a matter of confirming if you are among the lucky few!
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everyone!
I believe that they have set webmaster to release the results either at 12pm (the beginning of May 1st) or when their business hours begin at around 9am. Yes, the selection process is indeed completed. I am only waiting to confirm OUR fate: " You have been selected for further processing...." lol!!
Wow! anxiety just kicked in today. Can't wait for this to be OVER!!

@Muraya, I understand your anxiety and that justifies your counting....it wont be long and all the counting will be over! This is my first time.. and my anxiety for some reason seems to have faded as time draws close! (maybe because I might be lucky..hihi) strange human being I guess!
Guys, I am not exactly a religious person, but let me tell you few things:
1) Relax.
2) Whatever happens - happens. You can't change it. Life goes on.
3) Never lose your determination. Even hundreds of unsuccessful attempts mean nothing.
4) If you don't win, don't consider yourself unlucky, damned, or doomed. Nor do think that others deserve it less than you, for personal qualities play no role here. This is just a lottery and whatever merits you may have play no role in it.
I've been playing this for many years with no success, but keep playing because I know there is a chance, however small, to win. And that is not because I am so genuinely unique to deserve it out of millions of participants, but simply because there is a microscopic possibility that the KCC computer may by accident pick me.

I have seen persons who won on their 1st attempt. It's only a matter of the computer picking our name. However, I've asked this question before but got no reply: Do you believe that the computer was programmed to select certain people perhaps based on gender, education, age, marital status etc.? If yes, would you say that the selection process is really not 'random', but predetermined or explains why persons who have playing consecutively for many years and never won? I guess we will never know exactly what goes on 'behind the scene'.

LOL, I still do...
I am just trying to tell you that your hopes will be crushed in 3 days since Friday night sunset no results will be released. I don't see how do you get from Tuesday "Sunset" to Sunday "Sunset" in 3 days. Even if you live in Australia, which is 15 hours ahead of USA you still have to wait for Sunday May 1st which will be May 2nd in Australia.
Make sense?

Isn85: I couldn't have said it better! I bet your case is same as mine (have been trying since 1993) but I never give up coz I have nothing to lose and I get selected,; I would have everything to gain!
It's just that you want to know the results. Of course life goes on. But it is the waiting time since October which make you nervous and anxious the last moments...
So if someone is relaxed, good for him. But I just can't ... still counting the days ...
I mean . . .and if I get selected . . .
Yep!
