Over the past decade, the number of entries received each year to compete for the 55,000 green cards available in each DV Lottery year has averaged about 13.3 million. An average of 111,000 participants from each year's pool of applicants were selected each year. Therefore, the odds of winning in this period have been 1 in 120 (a fairly good chance of being selected).
The last year for which we have data (DV-2025) took place in 2023 and attracted 19.9 million entries, from which 131,000 participants were selected. The odds of winning in calendar year 2023 were 1 in 152, which still represent a rather favorable probability of selection.
