Some numbers in Larry's post are incorrect.
According to Department of State (http://www.travel.state.gov/dv2001results.html),
"Applicants registered for the DV-2001 program were selected at random from the approximately 11 million qualified entries received during the one-month application period that ran from noon on October 4, 1999 through noon on November 3, 1999. An additional 2 million applications received inside and outside of the mail-in period were disqualified for failing to properly follow directions."
So the total was 13 million submitted and 2 million rejected applications.
90,000 of 11 million won in a lottery (which is less, not "over 1%"). Note: out of 90,000 only 50,000 will actually get Green Card.
About pricing. Our site DVTool.com offers single lottery entry service at $25 and any additional family member or year added for only $10.
Compare: 3-year subscription for a family of two (6 lottery entries) would cost $75 at DVTool.com vs $160 (according to their site) at www.greencardcentral.com.
