Does participating in the Green card lottery jeopardize your chances to be approved for another visa (like a tourist visa) ?

Participating in the DV lottery should have no impact on applying for a tourist visa given the odds of actually having your name selected are very low. The U.S. Embassy will assess your application for a tourist visa by looking at your ties to your native country, purpose of your trip, prior immigration violations, etc.

No. It should not affect other visa applications.

No, it's like any lottery ... chances of winning are so low that you don't go and buy a Mercedes just because you bought a ticket, do you?.

No, it has no impact at all

I concur with my esteemed colleagues' conclusions. I would like to point out, however, that entering the diversity visa lottery evidences immigrant intent, which conflicts with the nonimmigrant intent required for a nonimmigrant visa such as a tourist visa. The State Department has indicated that nevertheless registering for the DV lottery by itself is not ordinarily cause for denying a visa. If you do participate in the DV lottery, it is important that this be disclosed if specifically asked at any future date so that you are not subject to a charge of misrepresentation. On forms which ask whether anyone has "ever filed an immigrant visa petition on your behalf" (such as the DS-156 Nonimmigrant Visa Application) bear in mind that lottery registration is not a visa petition.

You can try. Good luck. However should disclose the filing when required.
