I feel somewhat the same. It’s a nice thought should it occur, it’s just that the statistical likelihood of it actually occurring is rather sobering and a different thing entirely. In this forum a member has in their signature that they’ve entered consecutively and unsuccessfully since ’99 every DV Lottery to date. Not only do I figure the excitement somewhat wears off after a decade or so, I also feel that this individual is far more representative of the actual DV applicant. The plethora of selectees that join the forum looking for advice/help after the fact creates a false impression of the success rate; an unsuccessful applicant is hardly going to join, and those that do join without being selected are the hopeful to-be selectees.



If thinking of the consequences of winning counts as positive thinking then I’m in the same boat! I generally have all my documents organised as a rule. I’ve not made any special preparations above and beyond the existing organisation of my papers. I don’t think I’ve told anyone that I entered. I’d be surprised if any of my friends in the UK have heard of the Diversity Lottery. I know for certain none are eligible to enter, as such only selection would be newsworthy really.



I’m hoping to win too, despite my unluckiness when it comes to these things. I guess everyone that has thrown their hat into the ring is. Some applicants won’t follow their selection up; a lot can change in the six/seven months in their circumstances since they entered. Some selectees will be ineligible in the first place but entered anyway because they did not read the instructions. Some will have acquired criminal records/communicable diseases in the mean time. I won’t be disappointed. Beyond entering, there wasn’t anything else I could do, and I’ll be in good company along with millions of other people who too will find out one way or another they were unsuccessful.



You got to be in it, to win it.

Thanks. Your posts are entertaining and enjoyable to read too.

is it sad that i still have the completed documents i was about to post from the 1st May draw? How many of you 1st May unlucky winners still have the forms you filled out and printed (if you did not post them)?

the reason why i have kept them is due to the fact that i did a lot of research into all the responses on both forms, so i thought some of the information on those forms will still be relevant this year or next etc.

the douments i already have (from the 1st May draw) are:
original birth certificate
high school certifcate

I still have everything although I did send the form last year... well, now I have better, I have a more recent CLEAN criminal record, a pending case at the USCIS (extention of stay), I have a US adress... If i am selected again, I will ship the form the same day... If since i have a pending case with the USCIS i just need AOS, then same day it will be done

Brooklyn will always be Brooklyn but then i prefer manhattan to Bklyn even though its expensive there especially the housing rents.Queens,Bronx and Brooklyn still have affordable housing rent comparing to albany,syracus and midtown or even white plain

Brooklyn is the new hip destination for young professional, it is being gentrified. Manhattan is good too but too packed, Staten island is a good place, i'd like to live there, queens too

If you are looking for affordable housing rent then you can go for Queens,Bronx or Bklyn i.e cheap places like Flatbush,bushwick in Bklyn but for a nice and good place in Bklyn then you talk of Bedstuy or Bklyn height and crown height.For Queens and Bronx its more cheaper interms of housing rent.Maybe long island is also good.

The section of harlem is of crimes.Yes west Bklyn is ok than east Bklyn but BX i still think its ok interms of cheap rent even if you talk of Ghetto which is true but not all part of BX,pelhem bay and parkchester all ok for BX.West Queens and staten island still good.But in all of this Bklyn and harlem are of more crimes.
