DIGITAL PHOTO INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electronic entry submitted directly by an applicant has an equal chance of being randomly selected by the computer at the KCC, as does a qualified electronic entry received from an outside intermediary on behalf of the applicant. However, receipt of more than one entry per person will disqualify the person from registration, regardless of the source of the entry.
Please read the information before you submit your application.
Good luck with your lottery application.
Do not forget to print and save your confirmation number of your lottery submission. You will need this confirmation number to check your luck in May 2011
