DV winner entrance to US timing

Hi there. I was told that DV winners have to arrive in the US within 6 months of the medical. I had my medical on the 9th March 2018 and commitments mean I have no choice but to arrive in the US on September 9th - six months to the day, and down to the wire - if I've done the maths right? It's probably a silly question, but I need reassurance - will this be a problem? (and are my calculations accurate?!)

When you get your visa, it will have an expiry date. (Usually 6 months from the medical but occasionally differs.) That’s the date you need to enter by. Wouldn’t recommend planning to enter on last day - all you need is one flight delay and you’ve lost your chance.
