question about my sisters I-130 application

Hi, my name is Jasmina and a year ago I became US citizen. I applied I-130 for my sister (in NE) who is still in Macedonia. I heard that even if she wins lottary green card she wont be able to get it cause there is application in pending for her. 10 yers is a long time. Now she met american citizen and is scared to get married cause maybe they will tell her (at the Embassy) that she has to wait for her pending application. Can you tell me if she'll be able to get green card if she marries a US citizen (marriage will be in Macedonia) or she'll still have to wait for the I-130 that I applied for her?
 
and if she wins the DV lottery, she can get the immigrant visa that way. No problem

her pending I-130 will only affect her getting non-immigrant visas. It has nothing to do with immigrant ones.

and right now she will have to wait for the GC through you for 12-14 years, not 10.
 
but if someone goes and marries her (US citizen) before those 12 years, she can get the GC as it usualy goes, regardless my pending I-130 for her, right?
