Check the Diversity Visa (Green Card) Lottery results

Check the results for all applicants for the DV Lottery.

• Results for the 2025 DV Lottery are available from May 4, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
• Results for the 2026 DV Lottery will be available from May 3, 2025 to at least September 30, 2026.

You must remember to check the DV lottery results yourself online using your confirmation number. If your confirmation number is lost, learn how you can retrieve it.

Be aware that:

• The Department of State will not send you a letter or an email to let you know if you have been selected. See the fraud warning above.
• Being selected in the DV Lottery does not guarantee you will receive a visa. Selection means you can move forward in the DV Program.

What to do if you are selected in the DV Lottery

If you checked the DV Lottery results, were selected, and have the qualifications, you can apply for an immigrant visa. If approved, you would be able to come to the U.S., become a permanent resident, and get a Green Card.

Who to contact if you need help after being selected for the DV Lottery

If you have questions about the DV Lottery, check the Department of State’s Diversity Visa Instructions page for more information. 

If you still need help, email the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) at kccdv@state.gov and include your:
