Will there be lottery for advanced degree petitions?

Uscis received more than 20,000 petitions for advanced degree cap-exempt quota. But in the ‘alert’ uscis mentioned that they will conduct a ‘selection process’ for 20,000 petitions and rest will be counted in regular quota. Uscis doesnt mention if that ‘selection process’ for 20,000 petitions is lottery or not.

so i started reading article which can found on following link:



As per the article, 



 



"How USCIS Determines if an H-1B Petition is Subject to the FY 2014 Cap


	We use the information provided in Part C of the H-1B Data Collection and Filing Fee Exemption Supplement (Form I-129, pages 17 through 19) to determine whether a petition is subject to the 65,000 H-1B numerical limitation (the "cap"). Some petitions are exempt from the cap under the advanced degree exemption provided to the first 20,000 petitions filed for a beneficiary who has obtained a U.S. master's degree or higher. Unless otherwise exempt from the cap, petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries who have obtained a U.S. master's degree or higher will be counted against the regular cap once USCIS has received sufficient petitions to reach the advanced degree exemption."

	now my question is uscis mentions " first " 20,000 petitions and did not say anything about lottery for advanced degree cap exempt quota. 

	So why most of the people assume there will be lottery? Do u think my assumption that there will not be lottery for 20,000 petitions is baseless or illogical? If yes why?

Yes, that is what happened in 2008. There was lottery for both.
