visa lottery merry go round, part 4

Dear US State Dept.

I have a question regarding the diversity lottery for 2009, that hasn't been addressed in anything that I've read online at the US State Dept site. My partner (female) who was born in Algeria, but is living in Canada, would like to apply for a visa to live and work in the US. We are legally married in Canada, but are obviously not married in the US. I am an American citizen living in the US. There is a section in the lottery instructions that say she must state her marital status, and to provide spousal information and a photo. I feel that we are in a bind, since she would like to answer the questions truthfully and accurately, but our marriage is not recognized in the US. Can you please advise as to how she should answer the question, and whether or not she needs to provide info and a picture of me?

Thanks for your help in this matter.
