-can i apply for the U.S green card lotery? or i have to finish the high school first

Answer 1

There is no minimum age to apply for the program, but the requirement of a high school education or work experience for each principal applicant at the time of application will effectively disqualify most persons who are under age 18.

See the following official Depart ment of State announcement:

Answer 2

I think you need to be 18 to be entering the lottery
