No 2014 selectees so far?

[Dracenstein]

Hardly any 2014 selectees so far?

This is very strange...it's seems very possible that this first draw today may have been far less than 100,000 selectees based on reports of only two people having been selected thus far.

well millions of people around the world have entered the lottery and i don't think they all follow this forum.

They claim 125,000, not 100,000 this time.

Do you have a link for the 125,000 figure?

I can confirm

I can confirm on my winning further processing letter, a bar code covered "letter" that I printed out after seeing I'd been selected for further processing, that it indeed says 125,000.

Exact wording is "approximately 125,000".

Blimey they've taken it to 125,000 this time? To my knowledge it means that people did not apply for DV2014 in large numbers so the KCC has expanded the selection.

what does the "AF" mean in your number? Why don't I have an AF?

 

[aos13]

Six regions: AF=Africa, EU=Europe OC=you AS=Asia and then there is North America and South America.

One of their anti-fraud criteria might have eliminated a lot of entries, that is why.

Newbie here to the forum and just found out that I was selected! very excited to start the next process

any other successful Australians here?

 

[Petamiss]

Aussie numbers are seeming to be in the 2000's as well which is unusual... interesting!
