No, I havent had one myself but always be aware of emails like this and never reply to them. Never give any of your details out on the net. Surely, to win a lottery you have to buy a ticket. To me this is a scam. They will probably want your bank details so they can supposidly put your winnings into it. Remember the rule, if it doubt click it out.

Spain, Holland, UK, you name it, they scam people. There are still -not you, you're smart in asking- people out there who get taken in-or should I say cleaned out. In Aust, alone over 20 million dollars get scammed -says a lot about the locals here!!!!!!.- I have won so many `lotteries', have been bequeathed squillions by oil-moghuls -deceased- entrepeneurs-deceased, bankers looking for `relatives' with my surname, I reckon these people should write novels -they're that creative...........
Just DELETE- esp if you don't recognise their email address. At leat yahoo puts them in a bulk [spam] folder.

If I had received all the money I had supposedley won in lotteries, and helped all these Africans dispose of their money from 'over investment', I would buy Bill Gates out. If you haven't bought a ticket, YOU HAVEN'T WON A BEAN!!!

They are called advance fee fraud. They will tell you you have won 1 million euros. Along the way you will have to pay someone some money to process your application. Then you will have to pay their lawyer some money. It is a small price to pay for the vast sum of money you will be receiving...Then they scarper with your money and you never hear from them again...
