You may apply for the lottery if you are in the US, even if you are there illegally. If you win, though, you will not be allowed to adjust status but will have to apply for your visa at a US embassy or consulate outside the US.

Once you submit your visa application, the consular officer will decide whether or not the visa can be issued, based on whether your illegal status made you ineligible to receive any kind of visa.

You may apply for the lottery if you are in the US, but if you are in the US illegally, and not eligible to adjust your status, then no, you may not.

The DV lottery allows the winner to apply for residency (something like 6 % are rejected). One of the requirements is that you must be of good moral character. If you are illegal how can you be of good moral character?
