If you moved back to Europe and are continuously out of the country for one year, after the one year, you could be deemed to have abandoned your green card. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

What should I do if I overstayed my B1/B2 visa and won DV visa?

By overstaying your B1/B2 visa, you have put yourself in a legal bind. Ideally, if you are in the US and entered legally, you should be able to apply for adjustment of status after you won the DV. However, in order to apply for adjustment of status, you normally must be in legal status to apply. Unless you qualify for one of the few exceptions, adjustment of status does not appear to be an option for you. The other way to get your residency is to return to your home country to apply for an immigrant visa. However, by overstaying your B1/B2 status by 11 months, you have become subject to the 3-year bar under INA sec. 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I), which makes you inadmissible to the US for 3 years unless you apply for and are granted a waiver on form I-601. To qualify for the waiver, you must establish extreme hardship to a spouse and/or parent(s) who are US citizens or residents.
