Has anyone ever applied for it or know anyone that won a free pass to live and work in the USA?

Can i ask why?
go get a copy of the film "greencard"
its funny
Just seen loads of internet ads for them - I don't think the British are allowed to enter - think you have to be from more third world countries but got some relatives that may be interested and may qualifiy to enter
That is correct.
My uncle who owns a swimming pool business in Arizona offered me a job out there once and I looked at how to get in - in the end they bassically told me to fuck off because I've got a record.
I know two people who were flatly denied Greencards and both had to enter the country under the pretence of a holiday then get married whilst they were there. One of them has since been granted a Green Card (two years later) and the other is still waiting 18 months later. Whilst you're waiting you can't leave the country so neither of them has seen their family or friends for an age. Seems like hard work to me.
Hard work but for something that could shape the future of your life and your kids too.
The best way is to marry an american but it's still hard work
Next you need to have a Good job, a Skill they require highly
Or you could join the army and hope to be shipped to a base in america
