Will refreshing the entry page = multiple entries

Hey,

So this is another time I sign up for Diversity visa, hope I'll get this one! However while I was filling all the required information, click next and after I submitted my entry button - the web timeout'd on me, I have to refresh the page 2-3 times but after that I got a success screen along with my entry number and information.

Do you think it'll count as multiple entries if I had to refresh the page? I'm just concerned. I never had this issue before on last year's sign up.
 
Quoting directly from the horse’s mouth:

22. How soon after I submit my entry will I receive the electronic confirmation notice?
You should receive the confirmation notice immediately, including a confirmation number that you must record and keep. However, the unpredictable nature of the Internet can result in delays. You can hit the “Submit” button as many times as is necessary until a complete application is sent and you receive the confirmation notice. However, once you receive a confirmation notice, do not resubmit your information.

23. I hit the “Submit" button, but did not receive a confirmation number. If I submit another entry, will I be disqualified?
If you did not receive a confirmation number, your entry was not recorded. You must submit another entry. It will not be counted as a duplicate. Once you receive a confirmation number, do not resubmit your information.
