The lottery states were chosen as nations whose nationals are not proportionately represented in current immigration. Brits don't have priority on that. Although, I am all for more Brits in the US. I love Brits

Sorry - I really like Brits, too, but there's a perfectly good reason why you can't play the lottery (and no, it's not just you - it's in the rules):
For DV-2007, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply because they sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the previous five years:
CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, EL SALVADOR, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, POLAND, RUSSIA, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and VIETNAM. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible.

Trust!? Yeah, right. The elder nations get what they deserve for thinking they rule the world all the time.
