Due to a computer programming problem, the results of the 2012 Diversity Lottery that were previously posted on the website have been voided. They were not valid and were posted in error. The results were not valid because
they did not represent a fair, random selection of entrants, as required by U.S. law.
A new selection process will be conducted based on the original entries for the 2012 program
