Explained here, although this article is dated 2013, it all still applies.

I don't think she means that she is opposed to the DV lottery, but rather expressed her disgust at the fact that UK-born people aren't eligible - at least that is how I understood it.

With respect, no one is entitled to a US visa... no one at all.
Did you know that the US remains the only former UK colony in history to ever successfully sever political ties to the UK? There was a whole war over it, in fact... but perhaps you didn't hear about it.
I really think you need to take the "entitlement" chip off your shoulder.

Um, really - someone needs to update this Wikipedia entry then - they talk about the current close and special US/UK relationship - hardly sounds severed to me.
Not a cool comment..
