Don't pay anything. This is a scam e-mail that has been sent to SO MANY PEOPLE! What happens is if you pay the money, you get nothing in return. Even I received an e-mail that I won 1,000,000 euros.
They take your money and run. Delete the e-mail and don't look back. When you actually win any lottery they will take any fees and taxes out of the winnings.
If you won 1,000,000 why would they want you to send some of your own money anyways just to turn around and send money to you?

My question to you is: How do you know you won a "Euro Lottery"? Did you enter this lottery yourself or play while in Spain (assuming you've been there)?
If you received one of those letters in your inbox saying your email address has been declared a winner...IT IS A SCAM!
They only want to get your banking and other personal (legal) info to clean out your account(s).
If indeed you did win for real (because you entered this lottery yourself), then I would contact our (USA) government to verify its validity.
I hate to say it, but, go to irs.gov for more info/advice on what you may/may not need to do.
GOOD LUCK and/or CONGRATS!

No you shouldnt have to pay anything other than the cost of the lottery ticket, anyone who asks you to pay more is scamming you

No its a scam and they take people for Tens of Thousands of pounds.
If you fall for it you will be bombarded with more attempts to defraud you as you end up on their 'suckers' list.
Don't fall for it.
