How to Play/Register For the American Lottery (DV Lottery)

Today, I'm going to show you how to register for the American Diversity Lottery (DV lottery).

But before I go on, I will like to share some important information and personal experience:

*** First, registration for the DV lottery has just been launched. Note that if you play now, it's against 2014. This means that after you play, they will select the winners in 2013, and then if you are a winner, you will be notified in 2013 and then your visa process will start and finish in 2014. You will be able to submit registrations until the 3rd of November 2012.

*** Secondly, the only way you can know you are a winner is by using the confirmation number given to you at the end of this application process. The American Government no longer notifies winners through email or postal mails. Hence you will be required to check back this website in 2013 to see if you are a winner.

*** Thirdly, read the instructions provided on the american government website carefully. I will break down some important points here:

1.  Some countries are not eligible to participate this year. Check to see if your country is included. But if you are from Cameroon or Nigeria, you are eligible, considering you meet all the other criteria.

2. Some people are ineligible to participate. one of such people are people who haven't completed high school or do not have a two year professional history in one of the jobs listed on the DV lottery websites.

To sum it all up, the photo requirement is very essential. Pay close attention: your picture must conform to the DV team's specifications, that is: 600 by 600 pixels. I know the lehman won't understand what 600 pixels mean, but watch out for my other video on how to transform your normal picture to the required picture.

Again, if you have any questions or problems anywhere or congratulatory messages, my email will be below. Leave me a message and I'll help you as soon as I can: omega.b@tunechiconnect.com. You can also get help by simply commenting below this video and me or someone else with information will help you. The best way to get help is by posting a question below so that you can get various answers. And the answers will be public and opened to corrections. Note: to comment, you must register to this website. This takes approximately 1 minute to register.

Ok lets begin

First, open up your browser. Note that the best browser for any U S government website is the Internet Explorer. For this purpose, the firefox and google chrome are compatible depending on the versions. For this tutorial, I'll be using firefox.

After you open up your browser, type in this link: www.dvlottery.state.gov and press enter. Note the link is also highlighted in red below.

After the page has loaded, click on the begin entry. Note you could also take time off to check out the instructions or the photo validator page to see if your picture will be accepted.

After you click on begin entry, type in the security code and click on continue.

Now fill out the information requested on this page very accurately. Note that you will be asked this information again should you be a winner.

After you have filled out the first page, click on continue.

I won't click on continue because i'm not trying to register.

Now if you are single with no kids, the next page takes you to the last page which requires you to a agree to the terms and conditions and to electronically sign and submit.

If you are married or have kids, the next page will ask you to fill out the information for your spouse and kids. also, you will be required to upload their pictures too.

Now double check the information that you entered to make sure it is correct and accurate. Then click on submit.

The next page that comes up contains very important information. Copy down the confirmation number and other pertinent information on this page. If you have a printer, I'll advice you print this page and keep. This page is important because the information contained is the only way you will know if you are a winner or not.

And thats it. You are done. But like I said, I am online 24/7 and if you have problems anywhere, I am available to help you. This is free of charge: EMAIL: omega.b@tunechiconnect.com

Good luck
