I think it takes time for Dv winners to settle and find themselves in better situation. Yes, they are lucky, but the mere luck that brought them to the states is not enough to sustane them. They are really lucky if they get their green cards on their 20s but for late 30s , 40s, 50s people from Nepal have very less self confidence to succeed in the USA. I personally know some people who have said, F**K to the greencards and left for Nepal. I don't know when they'll come again. I met dozens of people , dv winners, working in gastation complaining their jobs and how much it sucks to work 2 jobs and spend all money on rent, although the food is cheap. Obviously, highschool degrees means nothing in the USA. highschool degrees get you nowhere even if you're from the USA. If you're from Nepal, in your mid 30s or 40s/50s, if you had not enough opportunity while living in Nepal to learn english and understand the foreign way of living than changes are you're going to have tough time. It is heartbreaking to see some people complain about hardwork in the USA and high rent and credit spiral of slavery. While some student , younge and engergetic lack such opportunities. I think dv winners need to be more patient and the zeal to do well must come. Being curious and going to school help.
