Is passport number tied to the lottery selection

[h1b2022stamping]

Do you know if the passport number is tied to lottery selection ? My H1b application was picked up in this year’s lottery(April -2022) and is approved. However, My passport is expiring in an year. Wondering, if I should renew the passport before stamping ? If my passport number changes, will it affect the stamping result. Could you advise ? I know, we give the passport number during lottery process. So just want to ensure if changing passport before stamping is okay. Could you please share your thoughts ?

Renewing passport is good idea as the date of your I94 stamp, received at point of immigration, on your return back to US will be tied to your passport expiry date.  Then you will be back here asking what should I do next.
