Yup. It's good to keep in touch or at least check the forum for any updates, changes, new developments momentarily or daily.
The first year I played I was so excited. But the excitement wore off a lot this year because I now realize how small the chances of winning are.
But if you win, the transition will be easy for you as you already own a condo in Florida.
Watch how fast May 1st will come!!
I like how many of us have faith in winning the lottery but please do not put much faith in the lottery,and do not put your plans on hold because of it.You may want to go to school and always put your plans on hold because of hopes that you will win.
Times have changed ,and with the economic crisis in the U.S it is not known if DOS will adhere to the notification of 100,000 winners with Case numbers and the issuance of 55,000 winners with visas.Im saying this because of what l've been seeing in international media ;the occupy wallstreet protests because of the U.S economy which spread to most of the major cities in the U.S and the trillion dollars U.S debt.The unemployment rate in the U.S is about 8-10% and so l doubt they would want to add more people to compete with their citizens.
Another reason being that last year we saw very few people winning the lottery .Just look at the winners in these forums they are few while they are supposed to be many because everthing is online: entrant status check and the 2nd NL so we should have many winners because of use of the internet in the Dv process , and we also witnessed the U.S residents taking most of the chances so these are the guys who seem to have the highest possibility of winning..
Ive watched some stand up commedians from the U.S joking about how bad the U.S economy is...One guy was saying that the U.S economy is so bad that Americans have started to con Nigerians,,,Another guy was saying that mexicans have started swimming back to Mexico preffering to go back to Mexico.Screaming how bad it is in the U.S.This shows how things have gotten ugly.
Not forgetting the glitches,even if you win never make any major decisions until you have the visa in your hand.
The main message here is that you should never be very excited about the dv lottery.I also wish for a glitch free lottery.
Wish you all the best in Dv 2013 lottery ......................!

Sound and good advice. As I've personally said in another thread I do not foresee myself really ever winning the lottery. It would be nice to win, but statistically speaking only a handful of people win compared to the huge amount of individuals that play. I know in theory we all have a somewhat equal chance within our respective regional areas of chargeability, but that number is so incredibly small it would be foolish to think that winning was in any way likely.
Then of course you must prove all your criteria to the consular officer at interview. I think I should be fine, the only area I worry about is getting $10,000 in savings (single applicant 100% poverty line) in time. The second thing as you rightly mention Styles, is the U.S. Job market at the moment which is experiencing slow or negative growth and high unemployment.
Difficult times.

Thanks to my FIL he bought it when my husband and his sister was in college back in 2001, now we use it as a vacation home.
I agree. It's so ironic as to why people still wants to go the USA notwithstanding the bad economy (this doesn't scare me at all for some reason). Well, at least people can return to their home country if it doesn't work out in the there.
Moreover, a lot of countries are having economic problems. However, I truly believe that those who have a lot debt and very little savings/money are feeling the pinch more than others.
@MYDV2013, I don't know anything that you don't know. I have just put my fate in Gods hands because the chances of winning are very slim indeed but with Gods favour
we can face insurmountable odds and win.
Hey, sorry for that very late reply, i didn't see your message.
Now i'm fully back, i was very busy.
