o! i am guuttteeedddd..uuu!!!.
P.s The next day i got another letter from some bloke who had £10million but because he was a rebel in his own country, he needed a honest person to help him and his sisters get this money back. They said they would give me 40%.
I was going to ask for 50%!!!! Guess what, i put him on my frienfds connection so he could speak to me & even joked in e=mail about how i could write novel & get the girl!!!!!
When i thought about winning lottery & this letter i thought i would ask Q&A....

It's a scam! My mom got this letter saying she won some Canadian lottery, and had an $1800 check enclosed that she was supposed to send back for her "total" winnings. Turns out that it was a bogus check (even the bank cashed it) and now she has to pay all of it back. Don't do it.

If you have played this game by purchase than it may be true, if not than they may be trying to get personal info from you- send them nothing and report as spam if this is not an actual lottery that you have signed up for. The Internet is full of scams! Stick to your local lottery!

Did you play this lottery? If you dont play, you cant win....
what company is going to let you win thier money if you did not do anything for them....ie buy a ticket ,buy a car...etc..
Do not send them any of your personal info...it might be a scam to rip you off..............

Sounds like a bogus ploy to get personal information from you. Sorry!

As a general rule, if youv'e really won something, and they contact you to let you know, then they should probably know your name. If you didn't actively opt-in to whatever contest you just won, chances are, you didn't win anything.

I get about 20 of those every week. They are completely false. Do NOT send them any information.

It's a scam to try to get you to give them your bank account and pin number so they can suck you dry.
