Total scam the UK lottery only pays out if you buy a ticket and even if you have a winning ticket and check it on the official lottery web site you still have to appear in person to collect the prize they would never do it by email or ask for money.
My brother in law works for the company that runs the UK national lottery.
Here is the link for the official web site please report the fraudster
to lottery security.

No you cannot win any lottery without buying a ticket. No tickets can be bought for the UK Lottery from outside the UK. If you had won a prize, you would not be asked for money in order to collect it.
The whole thing is untrue and should be reported to the police, really. If you were foolish enough to send them money you would not see it again, nor would you see any prize.
The best thing is to delete the email and remember that nobody gives money for nothing!

Please do not give any of your information out.
If you have won (you will know if you play it online or not and your numbers) you will not have to pay anything, phone the national lottery they will confirm it for you.
Trust me ive had a big win recently.
If you have wion then congratulations to you and good luck.

No way is this true. You should NEVER have to make a payment to claim a win. Sounds like a scam to me.

No - it's a phishing e-mail, designed to acquire sensitive information from you. Don't reply!

No, its a scam.
You can't win cause you didn't enter a contest.
They just want your information and your money.
