Just future amnesty will help you. Or marriage with US citizen.

You have to study your options. Since it will take years to benefit if your brother has sponsored you you might want to look for other option.

I am not sure if diversity visas have built in amnesty or waiver for overstays, mohan do you know?

No waiver in Lottory system. Waiver for overstay is only in case of USC/LPR citizens extreme hardship.
