YEREVAN. – The deadline for the US Green Card Lottery 2017 registration, which had begun on October 2, will end on Tuesday, reported Haykakan Zhamanak daily.

“Traditionally, this event is held actively in Armenia.

“Observations indicate that the Armenia residents’ participation is probably a record this year. According to the persons who are specialized in completing the lottery applications for people, they have never recorded such activeness.

“[A total of] 56,500 people from Armenia had taken part in last year’s lottery. 

“Given the world population, the ‘activeness’ of the Armenia residents’ participation in this lottery is about ten times more than the average world indicator,” Haykakan Zhamanak wrote.
