It's a trick. If you won, why would you have to send any money?

It is a hoax. Those types of email have been circulating for several years now. Here are some questions you should ask yourself. Did I enter any Australian Lottery? How can I win if I didn't enter? Why is a Nigerian bank trying to give me money from an Australian lottery?

It's a scam. Nigeria is known for these types of scams. As an example, US banks can't open any accounts with Nigeria addresses - that might give you an idea of how commonplace the Nigeria scams are.

Why would you have to pay if you won? Who is going to give you money for something you have never entered? Save your money - its a hoax

Avoid those kind of things like they were frauds. They are.
They will ask for your bank acct # or SS #. They want to steal your identity and drain you of all your $$$.

Why are you asking this question again? Rachel already answered it correctly. Are you waiting for the answer you want to hear?

If it sounds to be good to be true then it probably is. It has HOAX written all over it.
