Green Card Lottery 1994 May Be The Last One! THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED. The Green Card Lottery is a completely legal program giving away a certain annual allotment of Green Cards to persons born in certain countries. The lottery program was scheduled to continue on a permanent basis. However, recently, Senator Alan J Simpson introduced a bill into the U. S. Congress which could end any future lotteries. THE 1994 LOTTERY IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE SOON, BUT IT MAY BE THE VERY LAST ONE.

And to think, now the spammers run the Internet. How things have changed...
Spammers always ran the internet. Where were you in 1998?
I was on the Internet that was not literally run by Google and Facebook.
At the time I was very young and the whole thing was a scam. I couldn't believe that there actually is a green card lottery. /Tangent
