Though at first glance I assumed this was yet another example of classic fractured
English from the streets of NYC's Chinatown, A quick Googling showed that
this is actually in reference to the 2011 Diversity Visa Program (DV-2011),
the Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery (or "Green Card Lottery) offered
each year by the United States Department of State in order to offer
50,000 permanent resident visas to people seeking to immigrate to the
USA from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.

Its funny how what began as a snapshot of a sign with some funny Engrish
on it turned into a brief lesson on global demographics and immigration!
