If you typed only one or 2 wrong digits and the rest are correct then you may convince the CO that it's obviously a typo.
But if your passport number is totally different from the one you entered with then the CO will have a good reason to deny the visa, not sure if they will though.
I'm not entirely sure. But I think the DV instructions in the pdf file clearly says you should fill it with the name on your passport. Here's the part from 23 instructions.
Diversity Visa Instructions
Name – last/family name, first name, middle name – exactly as it appears on your
passport (for example, if your passport shows only your first and last/family name, please
list your last/family name and then first name; do not include a middle name unless it is
included on your passport. If your passport includes a first, middle and last/family name,
please list them in the following order: last/family name, first name, middle name). If
you have only one name, it must be entered in the last/family name field.
So, I guess you actually did the correct thing. Including your middle name would have been a mistake.

You should at least have listed your middle name in the other name section of the DS260 form though since it is on your b/c, that is one of the reasons why that section was provided. This ensures background check gets conducted on all the different names one has used or gone by at one point or the other. The omission may not lead to an outright denial, it however can cause unnecessary delays with your case being on a prolonged AP while additional background check gets conducted at the end of your interview.

The DS260 form also has a section for listing other names though which includes middle names. Including the middle name would not have been a mistake.I'm not entirely sure.

My answer was only about the initial entry.
Have a look at som1mom answer. The middle name must be reported in the ds260. Sorry if this came out as an incorrect answer.
Yes normally they would be gone, around additional 7K visas are reserved to be issued according to the order of the judges in the DV2021 lawsuits, but they are being appealed by the gov, also there is the ongoing Build Back Better legislation that would recapture all of those but still not law yet, if something changes BritSimon and others will tweet about it

Some embassies will proceed with the interview and put the case on AP, pending medical exam completion and clearance. Some will not proceed with the interview, requiring the applicant to reschedule the interview appointment for after the medical exam has been completed.
Hi everyone! I submitted the DS260 form in early June. After that (2 weeks ago), I renewed my passport and traveled to Egypt. Should I ask for unlocking my DS260 or should I explain this issue in the interview? I have heard that an accurate travel history and not updating your passport could lead to a visa denial.
I phoned to the embassy in Madrid and suggested emailing KCC and KCC answered me the following:

My case is EU9XXX and it seems it will be current in January so it would be great if you could help me.
Thank you.

No don't expect dq there's no such thing as dr and dq now :")
I was in the same situation as you: Dr - docs sent - waiting for dq. My case was current since October, so I received the interview date the same day Dr/dq thing was cancelled. So now you just need to wait for your CN to become current.

Good luck with your interview <3
I've heard Simon say the information you provide has to be accurate on the day you submitted your DS260. The part about not updating your passport leading to denial is simply false. So, use your own judgement.
As for the travel history I don't know exactly. I know if you had travelled there before submitting Ds then it could certainly be a problem. Also, even though Egypt is close to mid-east, it's not considered a concerning country as much.
Please let us know when you get the 2nl.
