Ok, so tell them to send you your money. If they want you to pay so much then it is not real, if they want your bank accoiunt info to pay you, it is not real.
If they mail you a check or tell you where to go to pick up the check it is real.

They say your name is figuring in the winners' list and there is this unclaimrd amount. They ask you to proceed to validate and claim the money. When you click on the link, you are asked to pay a nominal amount by Electronic money transfer, play the game and continue to play daily to be eligible to win. Isn't that funny? Its simply a trick to get your Credit/Debit card details and rob your money. So don't fall into the trap!

LOTTO IS CONDUCTED BY THE GOBERNMENTS ONLY.THE GOVERNMENT NEVER NOTIFIES ANY WINNER FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO HAS GOT THE TICKET . LOTTOT IS A PLAY WHER THE BUYER NOMINATED THE NUMBERS WHIE HE PURCHASE THETICKET OR THE MACHINE GEVES SOME RNDOM NUMBRS FOR THOSE WHO PREFER RANDOM NUMBERS.

Why would a lotto agency email you? They're hoping you don't collect it. Scam.

ok, first send me a $495 processing fee and i'll help you collect it. my fee will be less than the $795 they will charge......It's a hoax most likely from Nigeria or Russia.
