***Quick Update***
I put out this request for help nearly 18 hours ago. Since then YOU have managed to capture an additional 16000 numbers – so we are almost 25% through the whole 2017 case number range. This is absolutely fantastic. Nearly 200 people have tried the tool at least once – but the top 50 or 60 people in the hall of fame have solved 50 captures or more. Our top solver is “mrer NEPAL” who has solved an incredible 2225, closely followed by “Donald Trump”, a “Blindman” and “Kim Jong-In”!!! Hahahaha – I love that sense of humor too!! Thank you all!
Let’s keep going to finish off DV2017 in the next few days – and when DV2018 data is available – we will be ready!!!
OK – a couple of days ago I asked for some help testing a new process that captures the CEAC data. About 25 people volunteered and have been testing over the last 24 hours. I am so incredibly grateful for their help. It really is the best of everyone helping toward a common goal.
The test has gone extremely well – and we already captured status for over 5000 case numbers. This is incredible. From the data I am already seeing (this is DV2017 data) and can get numbers of how many people did not respond, how many have been issued, refused or are on AP. This is exactly the sort of data we need to understand what happened in DV2017 and what will happen in DV2018.
So – Xarthisius and I would like to expand the test. If we get enough people it won’t be long before we can have captured all the cases from all the regions – and that will help explain why DV2017 finished so badly. So – whether you want to know about DV2017 OR if you will want to know about DV2018 – please spend a few minutes and help us capture the data.
All you have to do is login at the link below and start solving captures. Each one takes a few moments to type in – and there is a hall of fame to show who is collecting the most! Every captcha solved gets a case number. DV2017 has around 90,000 case numbers. So – let’s get going!!!

Hello Brit
Luttery made 2018 with my wife and we won and she was the winner and my picture was made in 2017. Will I be reprimanded for not being eligible for the picture knowing that the winner is my wife and I?

I don’t think so.

I have no idea what you are asking. Be more clear.
October 2, 2017 at 16:44
What happen if we can’t be sure about the text (sometimes is difficult to read it) or we type it wrong? It just pass to another person? I’m curious.
October 2, 2017 at 18:31
No problem – that case number will be tried again after a few moments.

Is the tool going to use and test whether your case will be successful, deny or on AP
September 30, 2017 at 20:38
No.
September 30, 2017 at 07:05
did you mean 5ooo people were not respond?
September 30, 2017 at 16:53
No – I didn’t say anything like that. I was saying how many cases we had managed to check – that number is rising fast.
September 30, 2017 at 04:30
Capital letters can be typed in small or not?
September 30, 2017 at 12:53
Yes, they can. The form is case insensitive
