After entering the US to activate your visa, you can stay out of the USA for up to 1 year. You green card will be mailed to the address you supplied, if you anticipate staying out of the USA for more than a year, it will be better to apply for a re-entry permit. If you plan to naturalize in the future, there is a 5 years residency requirement that must be fulfilled.

@Komakan, here is an answer from Visa Officer on a thread on nairaland to you question.
Greetings! If the DV winner follows that pattern of behavior for too long, eventually s/he will lose his Legal Permanent Resident status.

Any LPR who remains outside the U.S. for more than a year will lose LPR status, and may not get it back.

Any LPR who's been outside the U.S. for less than a year may be denied entry at the border, even if s/he has a valid travel document, Having a visa or LPR card just allows a person to travel to the U.S.; s/he still has to convince Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) to let him/her in. CBP has much more freedom than (for instance) I do to just say no to people. Green cards are for people who intend to reside in the U.S., not for people who intend to visit once a year.


Hope this helps!

In addition to other contributions which may be above, If you are outside the U.S. for more than 12 months, you will need to show additional documentation to re-enter the U.S. as a permanent resident. Permanent residents who leave the United States for extended periods, or who cannot show their intent to live permanently in the U.S., may lose their permanent resident status. Many immigrants believe they can live
abroad as long as they return to the U.S. at least once a year. This is incorrect. If you think you will be out of the U.S. for more than 12 months, you should apply for a re-entry permit before leaving the country. You should file Form I-131, Application for a Travel Document. You
can get this form at http://www.uscis.gov or by calling the USCIS Forms Line at 1-800-870-3676. You must pay a fee to file Form I-131.
A re-entry permit is valid for up to two years. You may show the re-entry permit, instead of a visa or your Permanent Resident Card, at a port of entry. Having a re-entry permit does not guarantee that you will be admitted to the United States when you return, but it can make it easier to show that you are returning from a temporary visit abroad. Visit http://www.state.gov or your nearest Department of State Consular Office overseas for more information.

From my own personal experience, I don't think it's different. I was in a office where the registrar was bringing to his secretary's attention the date of issuance of result as the date that should be on "To whom it may Concern". They should be meticulous about issues like that. I think you should go with the date like that. Or do you have an alternative?
