I did some research because I don't trust people.
Turns out the Green Card lottery notification was a scam.
(Keep breathing. It's fine.)
I am more disappointed that Kamau does not come out of this as an affirmed prophet than I am in the false news.
And in case you're wondering:
No, I actually don't feel like an idiot for dreaming for a minute about the possibilities. I feel pretty happy that I double and triple checked the legitimacy of the correspondences I received (yes, there were multiple emails, which did not ask for money right away, which made it all seem more legit). Besides, I already have a green card application in the works, and as some of you know, I immediately felt stressed about having to open a new file and pour money and time into this process simultaneously (which would happen even if the win was a legit one). So...oddly enough, I feel relieved now.
Apologies to all whom I have disappointed in my ninja powers of being ridiculously lucky.
I'm seriously OK with thisº. I hope you are, too.
º ...that is, with not actually having won the lottery. I certainly am not OK with the fact that there are assholes out there scamming people and playing with their hopes.
