It's almost certainly an "advance fee" fraud (sometimes called a 419 fraud, for a version often seen from Nigeria. The basic scam is to make you think that you will get a big payoff, but first you have to send them a check for fees, taxes, and other expenses. They'll never be willing to deduct the costs from your winnings and send a check for the balance, and they'll evaporate with your money if you send them any.
