1. The Diversity Lottery is Free: Immigrants need to be cognizant of avoiding websites that accept a payment for the lottery.

4. Follow the guidelines for pictures given on the site: It is recommended to use the photo validator tool to check if the format and size of the picture is acceptable.
5. Current status not a limitation: Your current immigration status is not a limitation.
