Quick update. I emailed them and apparently what they
meant was that entrants needed to have an SS#. So she is allowed to enter even though the rules say entrants must be US citizens. Now wait, who can't get ss#s? oh yes, that's right -illegals. Yet another situation where the two are lumped together for convenience. Now the question is, should I alert all legal residents that they can enter and dilute her chance of winning but prove a point....?
