The Story of a DV Lottery Winner

How to Get a Green Card

Winning the Green Card Lottery

April 21st, 2007 . by admin

Okay, now that I’ve stopped bouncing off the walls, I think I can write some details down about the past few days…

Thursday Morning

I quite literally hadn’t put much (if any) thought into the outcome of the Green Card Lottery since my initial entry was submitted back in December of 2006.

So it’s now a phenomenally bizarre fact that I woke on Thursday the 19th of April 2007 and lay in bed wondering when applicants might start being notified about winning the DV Lottery.

My ponderous thoughts continued as I shuffled into the bathroom and then the kitchen as I went about my morning/pre-work routine… How did that friend-of-a-friend win her Green Card? Did she know someone in the US Government? Did someone pull a few strings for her? Is the whole “random lottery” a lie and do they really only choose the crème de la crème of applicants?

What about that Australian actor who plays Lincoln Burrows on “Prison Break” (Dominic Purcell)? I know he won the Green Card Lottery too, but how!? Did he get some special attention because he was already an established actor? Did he TOO pull strings!?
