Would my Mom lose her benifits if I sponsor her to the US?

Ok first of all, this is a question on Canadian-related issues. I'm not sure if the folks on this forum can help.
And second of all, I hate to be the one breaking it, but you can't sponsor your mom when you get a green card. Only citizens can sponsor parents.

The exception is that you can if your mom wins the DV Lottery

That is irrelevant. The building doorman can sponsor his mother if he makes enough money (and is a USC or a PR). But 'sponsor' in this sense relates to the affidavit of support.
The OP was talking about petitioning for his mother and adjusting her status. He cannot do that.
If she wins the DV lottery, she doesn't need him in particular to sponsor her. Any unrelated person could do that.
