Worked for Company A on TN, they applied for H1B and I got selected in the lottery. As a consultant I was let go before October, so I couldn’t be on H1B.

Company B hired me after first week of October and their lawyer mentioned I’ll need to go through lottery again.

I took the job offer (still on TN) and they are planning to submit my H1B application for lottery.

Question - is this expected that I’ll have to go through h1b lottery again? I would appreciate the help.
 
If your employer filed for H1B lottery got picked up & filed H1B which is approved then you don't need to go through lottery. Employer B can file H1B not subject to lottery.
If you were only picked up in lottery & employer did not proceeded & file H-1B then yes you need to go through new H1B lottery again.
