“Entries” are the people who registered. “With family” adds spouses and children listed on their entries. “Rough odds” is entries divided by people selected, a guide only: nobody's own chance can be worked out from it.

Syria in short
How many people from Syria were selected in the DV lottery?
624 people from Syria were selected in DV 2026, the latest year with results. Being selected is not a visa: it only gives the chance to apply.
Visa Status is an unofficial site and does not give immigration advice. The only official place to register is the State Department's Diversity Visa website; registration is free.
