STATE.gov sending email with your confirmatiopn number, check your junk mail

I saw a snapshot of thoses emails & it doesn't says "winner", just "qualify entry that will be included in the lottery"... My entry was selected so I still can win, in my case, iut's maybe just that I entered my university email adress which is not in use no more
the thing is that during that period, I was only using my university email adress because the msn one had too many spam so I didn't want to deleted any possiblee KCC email... & now this adress is not in use anymore
Are you certain that you used the university e-mail?
 
When did you apply and did you make sure the email address was ok?
All over. I figured that if I spread my entries, I would stand a better chance of having a win. However, Lo, and behold, I had 3 entries on the 5th Oct, and two of them got selected. Now I have none, Zero, Zilch, and getting depressed by the minute. I wish I never checked on May 1st. :(
 
From 20 family entries I submitted, not a single email so far :( I had 2 winners on the nullified one :( Those should be valid entries, I think.

Yours depressedly,
Sam

Hey, The day still doesnt finish....dont lost the hope!
 
I think the reason someone's not getting this notification is the wrong email address given in the application.
 
I have a bad feeling about not receiving the e-mail by now. Someone from Oceania reported receiving the e-mail, which means that they have passed my region, if they are sending in alphabetical order.
 
almost 100% sure
I remember at that time, for all important things i was using my university email because there were too many spam in my hotmail adress & I didn't wanted to delete an important message by mistake.

14.7 millions emails... it doesn't take a week... they have to create a webpage for each & single ones... a huge task to create 14.7 web pages

My only consolation is that I am certain that in the majority of my entries, I didn't put an email address since it was optional :(

Agreed, however, 14.7 are not QUALIFIED. If persons are reporting receiving an e-mail each day, then your comment maybe the case.

No, its just a script (Perl, Java, Javascript, etc) that generates the webpage. Same script with only 1 variable, your confirmation number, and the rest is the same for everyone. An email server can easily handle that many emails in a day.
 
But how did you receive the confirmation number?

I got it at the time of the original entry. It was displayed on the screeen, I delcted it, and copied it (Ctrl-C) and pased in in an excel file (Ctrl-V), and bingo, I still have the file.
 
bahama boy:

I am from the Bahamas too and have not yet received the e-mail...Were you selected in the 1st round?
 
@win dv

no i was not selected in 1st round, hopefully this email being sent from the KCC is legit, because i threw away my CN after checking on May 1

Noted. I saved my number. However, I believe that the e-mail is ligit because more than one person reported receiving it....They noted that the e-mail referred to them as a "qualified entrant"....

At least someone understands how simple it is for them to send the 14.7 Million emails with different confirmation numbers. I was trying to compose something in Lehman's terms so that people would understand. At least I see that Samusoni you have programming knowledge. It becomes difficult to express it in Lehman's terms sometimes . . .you have to explain what a variable is . . .etc. But I think you made it simple . . .
