Selected DV-2020 - while in US as Asylum seeker

I have been in US for almost 3 years as an asylum seeker. I can work and study legally.
I have just been selected for DV-2020. There is no way for me to return in my home country to apply. That's not an option.
I would love to apply for Adjust Status under I-485 right here. Is there anybody who knows from where I have to start?
Please share your experience. Thank you in advance for all your responses.

What was your status when you filed for asylum? Where you still in a valid status or had already gone out of status when you filed for asylum?
 
That unfortunately makes you ineligible to file a DV based AOS petition. AOS petition (outside of an asylum based one) requires the petitioner to have not gone out of status.
