Best H-1B lottery odds by employer

The 200 sponsors with the best odds under the FY2027 wage-weighted H-1B lottery, from their recent DOL wage-level mix (FY2023–2025). Estimate your own with the lottery-odds calculator.

Which employers give H-1B applicants the best lottery odds?

Publix Super Markets, Manhattan Associates, Two Sigma, Broadcom, and Netflix give H-1B applicants the best lottery odds, at about 4.0 selection entries per registration against 2.34 across all H-1B filings. That is because the wage-weighted lottery (first used for FY2027 in March 2026) gives a Level IV wage 4 entries and a Level I wage 1, and these sponsors filed at the highest levels in FY2023-2025 DOL data.

Under the FY2027 wage-weighted rule (effective 2026-02-27) a registration gets entries by wage level: Level IV counts 4, Level I counts 1. “Avg entries” is each employer's mean across FY2023–2025filings that carry an OES level. It describes recent hiring, and predicts nothing about a single registration.
