DV winner urgent question: Spouse
Hi all, thanks so much in advance for reading this,
I won the lottery. At time of entry in October 2016, I listed my partner as my wife - knowing we'd be married the next month, in November 2016.
Now we're worried that I may have done the wrong thing, as we weren't actually married when I first submitted the entry. I thought at the time that this would be better than suddenly trying to add a spouse after winning the lottery (possibly a bad look), but now I'm concerned it may look bad to have had a status of married in the DV entry prior to marriage. I assumed it would make sense when read, and appear as though we were being realistic and straight-up, but now recognise it could be misconstrued for whatever reason.
Would really appreciate if anyone could please offer advice.
