There are 50,000 diversity visas available for the dv lottery winners. As all the selected winners of the dv lottery don't meet the eligibility, the State Department always select more than the number of available visas. For example the DV lottery 2008 selected nearly 85,000 winners for that program.
The program is under first come first serve basis. So if the visas are issued to eligible winners, all the other appointments will be cancelled or the program will continue till 30th September. After this day the program will be closed and thereafter no dv visas will be issued or nobody can change their status for that dv program.

Each month the U.S.State Department publish the Visa Bulletin where you can find which case number is going to be called for the interview in that month.
