*** Update – the system is fixed. Many are still having problems – but that is because they are entering information incorrectly – see https://britsimonsays.com/faq/checking-esc-page-check-without-mistakes/
They have fixed the glich – please check.
I would like to hear from anyone who had the glitch AND has been selected. Most people will see not selected of course – but to confirm my theory at least some people should be selected.

Up to now I know 6 other applicants that they were not valid yesterday and they have not been selected today. I think we were not in the draw.
May 4, 2017 at 13:35
Hi Brit,
Sadly not selected. Any way there is always next time. I will def. use a new picture next time.
May 4, 2017 at 13:37
There might not be a next time actually … DV is a relic from times gone by
May 4, 2017 at 16:32
Nonsense.
May 4, 2017 at 13:36
I was waiting for the glitch to get fixed as well, aaand I an NOT SELECTED
May 4, 2017 at 13:38
guys please in the name section we should put only the LAST name????
May 4, 2017 at 16:31
The name before the comma on the confirmation.
May 4, 2017 at 13:43
Not selected. and had the error also
Maybe its because we all weren’t in the draw (disqualified) to begin with, and thatch what caused us to see it?
May 4, 2017 at 13:44
also used an old image 🙁
May 4, 2017 at 13:47
NOT selected…
May 4, 2017 at 13:52

HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED
May 4, 2017 at 14:07
I have checked a few places around the web, its early days but so far nobody “selected” if they were previously affected by the “information entered not invalid”.
The plot thickens!!!!
May 4, 2017 at 14:23
Same here. Not heard that any one previously invalid been selected yet.
May 4, 2017 at 14:42
No not really. 19 to 20 million people entered and about 120,000 selected. Not selected is not a surprise. Few winners is not a surprise.
May 4, 2017 at 14:08
Not selected. Yes issue fixed. Thanks Brit! 🙂
May 4, 2017 at 14:09
3 applications, all not selected.
May 4, 2017 at 14:14
Russia. Not selected unfortunately…Me and my wife. Were hoping to see the positive result.
May 4, 2017 at 14:15
was able to check today. HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED.
May 4, 2017 at 14:16
I have check some letters to whom selected but He did not mention the total number of winners, for example, 126,000 in 2015. Do you know why that happened?
May 4, 2017 at 14:38
The number given in previous years wasn’t accurate – so they changed the format this year.
May 4, 2017 at 14:20
I was affected by the glitch and I have not been selected either.
May 4, 2017 at 14:26
After the glitch ..Not selected and I used a picture from previous dv application..So far that seems to be the common thread..
May 4, 2017 at 16:11
Well yep – that should always have been the expectation. People who used the DV2017 photo were told they would be disqualified – so the surprise would be if any of those saw anything except not selected. Try again next year and follow the instructions correctly.
May 4, 2017 at 14:29
On Russian forums so far everyone who had invalid posting only hnbs. I had for 2 entries invalid and today for both hnbs
May 4, 2017 at 14:42
Same in Polish forum.
May 4, 2017 at 14:32
There is a person in a German forum who was selected after experiencing the not-valid error before.

Hi Edy
Were you prevented from checking your entry due to “information entered not invalid” prior to being selected?

May 4, 2017 at 15:48
Hi, 2 case number with the “information not valid issue” ==> not selected. It seems like everyone with this issue did not get selected. I have not seen one person so far who experienced this computer glitch issue and who have been selected.
May 4, 2017 at 15:58
There is no evidence that “no one” from that group got selected. Not selected is far more common.
May 4, 2017 at 15:57
not selected :/
