Know how I spent $272.92 on the kind of faux Green Card Lottery thing? They returned my money (almost all) in the sum of $240.14)!
That means I only spent (or lost, however you want to see it) $32.78!!!
This is a VERY happy surprise for me, since it fuh-reaked me out that it wasn’t the real site, AND that it was actually FREE to apply for the Green Card Lottery.
You DO NOT NEED TO PAY.
However, they said they already applied me for the program coming up for 2010 :-/ but the picture requirements changed, so now I’m just confused as to how they managed to get me in there.
*sigh* I’ll just write the 2010 Green Card Lottery off (mentally, while still hoping for the best), and hope for 2011 to be the better year to apply.
On the bright side, I had a dream last night that BF and I won the Green Card Lottery.
Together.
At the same time.
The real Green Card Lottery site is here on this website:
travel.state.gov
And here is the actual link:
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.
Now I am self-employed, and you can read more about 
I’m happy that you were able to get your money back!
Good luck with the greencard lottery!
