If you did not actually enter the lottery and got an email or postal mail that you won, it's a scam. You gotta be in it to win it!
No matter how legitimate it sounds, don't fall for it. You'll probably find that before you can claim your "prize" you have to give them a "processing fee" or some such fee. When you pay the "fee" to get your money, you'll find that the company disappears.
If you still aren't convinced, then stay in contact with them. Don't give them ANY personal information-- no bank account numbers, social security numbers, not even your phone number. See how long it takes for them to ask you for money!

a million. Do you imagine MSN and Yahoo may have a blended corporation? they are competition. 2. Did you enter this contest? 3. Ever hear of the word, too reliable to be authentic? 4. There are very strict rules governing lotteries contained in the states, i visit't imagine a global lottery is criminal the following. 5. do not fall for the junk mail and report it to yahoo! and mark it so the deal with is left out contained in the destiny.

It's a very well known scam. If I would have received 0.1% of everything I "won", I still would be millionaire by that amount alone. Don't react on these mails, delete them, just like the "help me, I'm working/am a relative of/lawyer etc that want to give you millions for getting millions of undocumented/unregistered/abandoned money out of X"-kind of mails.

Had one of those once and played aroung with them. Sent e-mails asking questions and stuff like that. They kept on sending notes that it was for real and then asked for $$$ for expenses so it is true all of those e-mail notifications for you winning some sort of lottery or contest or stuff like that is fake, phoney, junk et. al.

It is a scam.
I received similar emails.
what they do is they ask you to verify your email by replying to a specific email address,
you reply,
then you get an email that the payment is with the a company etc, and they need surety / insurance / processing fee.
which depends on your way of making payment.
what is funny is that they do not allow you to visit personally and collect the payment.

well first of all, did you ENTER the "world bank group lottery"?
did the winning notification have a lot of misspelled words?
if it just came via e-mail it's probably just crap
