Does applying for the Diversity Green Card lottery affect future tourist visits to the US, if you don't win?

Submitting an application to the Diversity Visa Program (green card lotto) is generally not considered evidence of immigrant intent by itself since there is no guarantee that an applicant will even be selected. This means you should be fine applying for a visa or ESTA to visit in case you are unsuccessful.

This link (which deals with another non-immigrant visa but the advice holds true) gives more detail. Anecdotally, I entered the lottery years ago and was unsuccessful and have had no problem applying for the B1/B2 visa or visiting the USA since.
