The US Diversity Immigrant Visa program is also know as the Green Card Lottery because only a number of those that apply will receive a Green Card. Each year 55,000 people receive Green Cards.
The Green card Lottery is administered by The US Department of State and allows members of the US with visas to participate in random drawings for prizes. There are no fees to participate other than what you spend on the actual lottery based on how many entries you purchase.
The US Green Card Lottery is a lottery that randomly decides which applicants receive Green Cards. A green card is needed to legally stay in the country.

the ins does not call to anybody and is not a "green card" lottery,it is a visa lottery and of course you need yo enter with and special form, fill it up, mail it,etc.,etc. does mean if you got a call saying you won a green car it is fake or a fraud
Only the countries with the lowest number of visas granted annualy by the US are eligible. The UK is not among them. I should have said "issued," not "granted."
The US government has a form of 'green card lottery' where a small number of people from a large number of applicants, are able to get a green card. Beware though, because there is a common email scam where people are told they have won a green card - without them ever applying, of course - trying to trick them into sending money for processing fees and such. A real green card lottery winner would be informed by postal mail in most cases - but anyone who hasn't applied should automatically be suspicious.
