Does passing the lottery review mean I have already won the lottery?

Passing the lottery review does not mean you have already won the lottery. When participating in the lottery, the 'review passed' status indicates that the submitted lottery information has been approved and meets the lottery standards, granting you the qualification to participate in the lottery. You can check later to see if you have won the lottery and obtained the specific details before purchasing a vehicle. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Note: Obtain an application code to participate in the lottery on a fixed date. Use the application code to check whether you have won the lottery, i.e., whether you have completed the lottery process and obtained the qualification to purchase a vehicle. Then, go to the 4S store to purchase the vehicle and complete the registration procedures within the specified time. 2. Validity period after winning the lottery: There is a validity period. Taking Beijing as an example, according to the Interim Measures for the Regulation of the Number of Small Passenger Cars in Beijing, applicants must complete the vehicle registration procedures within six months of obtaining the qualification. If the procedures are not completed within six months, it will be deemed as automatically forfeiting the obtained quota.
Hey buddy, passing the review doesn't mean you've won the lottery—that's a common misconception among new drivers! I remember being super excited during my first application, thinking approval meant I could pick up my car right away. But when I rushed to the DMV, I was told it was just the first step—meaning my eligibility was confirmed to enter the lottery pool, but actually winning still depended on luck and odds. For example, Beijing's fuel-vehicle lottery winning rate can be as low as 1%, so it's crucial to keep an eye on official website notifications. My advice: hold off on celebrations, first check your email or mini-program for next steps to avoid false hope. Remember, the license plate lottery system has two stages: eligibility review first, then random draw—so stay vigilant.
