I'm filling the form myself which I'll then send to my dad for further action (his English is not that great), and I just have one question that I'm not sure about, it's the "Did you gain permanent resident status through marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident?" I'm not sure what to put here because he technically did gain his resident status because of my mother who put him as her husband during filing of the Diversity Lottery so the whole family got their green cards then at the same time. I'm thinking this is just for those that actually had their husband/wife file a petition while they were a holder of a LPR or a citizen, and then the husband/wife got their LPR on behalf of them? Right? So I should put NO?

correct, your mother as a LPR or USC did not file for him. he got his GC through DV lotto, not through marriage to a LPR or a USC.
