From 2010 through 2017 and 2018, the number of Iranians who registered for the lottery grew steadily. In 2018, it reached the highest number, when nearly 1,600,000 people registered.

The rise slowed after President Donald Trump imposed immigration restrictions on seven primarily Muslim countries in 2017. In the years under review, 2019 had the most massive drop.

According to this report, 760,000 Iranian participated in the 2021 lottery.
