More details to this question:
I have a family member who won a green card lottery from kenya. All the documentations and procedures went well until during interview where he was informed that he is denied of green card because he filled two identical photographs of his 2yrs and 5 yrs children. he has tried to appeal and seems to be heading anywhere with this appeal. He requested to speak with consular general, he was not even given a chance. is there anyway to appeal.

It is very difficult to challenge a decision of the consulate especially in DV lottery cases given only so many visas can be issued. It is not clear why the application was denied. You can sometimes request reconsideration. I would encourage you to consult an attorney directly.
