Watch out for those SCAMS!!! DON'T FALL FOR THEM!!! They want you to jump at the thought of winning millions of dollars, and be quick to give them your bank account info for their fake deposit...so they can wipe your account clean! They are scammers. I get about 10 emails a day from a Nigerian lawyer who's handling my long lost uncles winning lottery ticket that he didn't get to cash in before he died! It states that I'm the only heir, and I must hurry and send them my bank account information so that I can get 3.3 million (or more) deposited into my account. I also get those fake UK ones. One quick and easy way to spot these scams is....They don't know how to spell to save their lives!!! Almost every other word on the email is spelled WRONG!!! The sad part is some people are actually taken...and fall for the scams, and lose their life savings. Every time I get one of these emails I think of some poor old lady in Yourtown, TN who fell for the scam and is on the 10 o'clock news crying her heart out and asking for our help!

There is a National Lottery in the UK but it is not called "UK National Lottery 2006". The National Lottery site can be found at http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/home/home.do
If you have received an e-mail concerning a prize you might have won (from ANY lottery) and you haven't bought a ticket, then it's a scam. Nothing is for nothing!
