Are you serious or sarcastic?

I've heard that some folks that are selected get to know that they won a certain year when they didn't even knew they won or remeber that they applied at all, and that might be like from 5 or 8 years ago from what I've seen on Youtube when they arrived on the interviews. So this simply means that U.S government saved the Diversity VISA lottery data longer than the year and fiscal period that the applicant applied for. For example the data for the 2023 lottery which application period ended in 2022 was stored up until septemeber of this year. But doesn't seem like that when you hear what some Youtubers have been told in their interview. And when I ask the the DV lottery VISA category on their kentucky email - they just refer me to their page. I would like to know more about this, how long our data is stored and saved. With data I refer to the questions that needs to be filled in in the application process form.

The photo must be 300 DPI and a minimum 600x600 or 1200x1200 maximum, and in file size it can't be more than 240 KB. Those that can't abide by these rules will be Immediately and automatically disqualified after just sending in the application. I appealed and got acquitted from serving 4 months in prison, I also got acquitted in one of the charges. Instead I got probation for the 3 charges I was sentenced for, I must go and follow the probation rules for at least 1 year. I don't think this is good, tho some say I should be glad since I escaped prison time. Not sure it will help if I win or for other visa's tho, since the charges are still there, unlawful threat, harassment and resisting arrest.

The Maximum is 240 KB, and it must be in JPG format. But are there any minimum KB requirements for the photo? 50 KB 70 KB or 85 KB? Or does anything below 240 KB work?

I have 2 questions which I hope you can be able to answer please! Maybe this one should be in the legal section, I don't know, otherwise a moderator can move it there, thanks! I have not got selected, and this is mostly a thing I should worry about if I do of course, but I still would like to ask you folks. On the Travel State Gov site, it tells us the following: ( Selected entrants are encouraged to complete the online DS-260 application immediately to schedule an interview appointment at the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. ) – I have an ongoing appeal in the court after I got sentenced to 4 moths in prison, last year. It is dated 4th of June, I will get the whole sentence somewhere between 18th and June the 20th. Will there be a problem if I would wait till then to fill in the DS-260 form? I am asking because I don’t know yet if I will be acquitted in some of the offenses/violations, and thereof don’t know what to put in the crime section of the DS-260 form. I live in Sweden. Second question, do you think it would be a problem with this sentence if I would win? Everyone tells me my sentence will get reduced since it was my first crimes, I am indicted of 4 crimes, not so serious really, but still… I’ve heard that if it is under 6 months, there is usually not a problem, but that can also depend on how long time ago it was or so? Best regards!
