Interview Questions for Green Card Lottery Winners

[darkchild]

Hi guys,
I won the green card lottery i.e. I was selected to participate in the green card lottery 2011 and I'm from South Africa.

My question(s): I had 1 tourist visa application rejected 15 yrs ago (on the basis that i was young and the officer thought i wouldn't return from the US). I also recently has a business trip visa rejected (because I had not mentioned that I had been rejected 15 yrs ago, I totally forgot). So now, I am afraid that my green card win might also be rejected based on these 2 past cases. I have no criminal record, no communicable disease, have a MSc degree, 6 yrs IT managerial experience, have friends/relatives in US, etc..
Can my green-card application be rejected when I go for the interview, on tha basis of the last 2 rejections?? What questions are asked at the interviews?

Thanks for your responses and insight!

The non-immigrant visa applications that was rejected are separate issues from your DV lottery. It wouldn't affect you. My parents had their non-immigrant visas refused about 4 years ago, but were able to get their family based green cards with no reference to previous applications. So don't stress.
