I sent in my DV application - Then this ERROR!?!

[FONA 6]

Hi.

 

I just completed the DV lottery form. 

 

After I was done I got this first attached picture up telling me my application was sent in successfully. I printed it down in PDF, and then I refreshed the page, which then the next attachment comes up and I get scared as hell! Like #######!?! I click on RESUME ENTRY, and get this message: The information submitted has not been accepted because it matches a previous entry in our records. Individuals may only submit one entry per DV period.
Duplicate entries will not be accepted.

 

So what now? Is it game over for me? Or is this common? Because all I did was to refresh after I had filled it out and printed it.

Refresh prompts your browser to resubmit the action. It blocked the duplicate entry.

Thanks for the reply! 

 

So can I be sure that nothing went wrong and that I still have a chance to win? Because again, according to what I said.. I first refreshed, then the "Unexpected Page Request & Resume Entry" came up, I clicked on Resume, afterwards I got that message that > Duplicate entries will not be accepted. 

 

I just hope it is as you say, that it blocked it to happen, and not that it mean that it now blocked both of them.

It blocked it from happening - your original entry is still active.

The system basically stopped a duplicate entry from being submitted.

Btw. I forgot to ask, now I don't really think you might really be able to answer this one... But do you think the chance of me getting rejected or if the system just rejected me already just because it maybe thought I was going to do a duplicate application, so do you think it threw away my legit entry, because it might think I was going to do a duplicate you know, or do you think it understands that I refreshed or messed with the FORWARD and BACK buttons on my browser?

 

I've tried to contact KCC on their mail, but those working there only give answers per a form or so, they don't really answers people's question, even tho it is really people answering. Very weird.

No chance this is an issue.

Ok. Well I hope you are right here too.
