Thanks guys.
I've found the right sites I was googling for.
But seems I'm about to skip this year DV lottery:

The Department of State will only accept completed Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Forms submitted electronically at http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ during the registration period beginning at 12:00 pm EST (GMT-5) on October 5, 2005 and ending at 12:00 pm EST (GMT-5) on December 4, 2005.

APPLICANTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST WEEK OF THE REGISTRATION PERIOD TO ENTER. HEAVY DEMAND MAY RESULT IN DELAYS. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER NOON ON DECEMBER 4, 2005.

PS
From my own observations it's much easier to move to the USA if you're a rogue.

hmm ... now I'm not so sure about Across vs Past ...
Well, Mladen, I'd like to move even to e.g. Lithuania
(not to mention Slovenia) BUT I "can speak" only English.

That sight you mentioned kept saying I won a free registration but my country of birth is disqualified... tried to stop them as nicely as I could from sending emails but they keep on persisting...and told them they just disqualified me, so I blocked them

lol, jen, did you really try this or it's just a joke?
As for me now I think the whole my idea was a fit of my adventurism.
All lotteries of this kind are for those who strongly believe that
God loves them. Heh my naivety has never reached such high degree.

yeah, I actually did
