No, selection is done only once, about 100,000. But several batches of winners could be open any year, not exceeding 100,000 total. That was the case in DV-2007, DV-2003 and some other years. It could be the case in DV-2012 as well. For DV-2013 there is no particular reason, it is just a general precaution.
