Hi,
As the other members are saying, it is a FRAUD used for identity theft and to earn some money.
Please read the article:
"Lottery scams are one of the most common types of fraudulent email currently hitting inboxes. Be wary of unsolicited email that informs you that you have won a large sum of money in an international lottery. This is a common Internet scam. There is no lottery and no prize. Those who initiate a dialogue with the scammers by replying to the lottery scam emails will eventually be asked for advanced fees to cover expenses associated with delivery of the supposed "winnings". They may also become the victims of identity theft."
I suggest you to go through the complete article here >http://www.hoax-slayer.com/email-lottery...
I hope this helps.

hun, its a scam, i get 2 of these to my inbox every week. The only way you can win a lottery is if you entered one, did you enter the "euro-afro-asia-american" lottery. Ignore and delete the email, and whatever you do, don't give them any of your personal details.

Check it out and see if you've won some money. Maybe then you could afford to pay for some spelling and grammar lessons.

They are fishing for your personal information. It is a scam. If it's too good to be true, it probably is a scam.

my advice: just delete it
