To Be honest! why do you think they issue DV's? Plain and Simple-> they want people who are less qualified than people here to come and do the low paying mechanical job. Do you think someone like Mr John who has 2 graduate degrees or Millions on work visas are interested to do a 7$/hour job like flipping burger in Mcdees? It is a very sad comment to see that says people who had DV have easy life. It is so not true. they struggle evry day ... for everyone US is a land of oppurtunity provided you are willing to work for it. And Success and happiness is a very RELATIVE term..it depends on how you define it.
