Green Card Lottery chances by country

Your chance of selection in the Diversity Visa Lottery is not identical in every country. Eligible entries, selected entrants, regional allocation, and country limits affect the historical result. This simulator shows what repeated random draws might look like.

Use the selector above to try the simulator. These figures are historical estimates, not a prediction or guarantee for the next DV Lottery.

How are DV Lottery chances calculated?

For each country, the displayed chance is calculated as selected entrants ÷ total entries × 100. For example, 200 selected entrants from 10,000 entries gives a historical rate of 2%.

The real DV Lottery is random and applies regional and country limits. Results change each year. Selection only allows further processing; it does not guarantee an interview or Diversity Visa.
