Seriously, if you had actually won a prize from the UK (you have not by the way) don't you think that they would just send you a form that you had to sign giving consent to remove and 'handling fee' out of your prize money? Why would they really expect you to come up with $460 just so they could send you thousands?
It's a scam, the UK don't do lotteries like this. The only way to win a lottery is to go to the store, buy a ticket, and check your lucky numbers.

Realize that you don't get something for nothing. Realize that 100% of things that you get for in life you have to work for as there is no free lunch.
Learn how to check for a scam by typing the name of the lottery and the word scam into your computers browser. 100% of these emails are scams and you are wasting your time if you think differently.

#1, did you enter that lottery- answer No.
#2 No lottery requires you to pay anything before you get a prize.
#3 this is one of the most common scams- only beaten by the "I am an (Arab, Prince, Former President) who needs your help to deposit millions and you get a cut" scam.
#4 If it's too good to be true, it is.
Scams.

FALSE.
You are very likely being scammed. It happens every day in the US. They get money-order from you, you get a check... that bounces.
Get rich quick schemes are engineered to make money off of you, not for you.
Dare to take the path of hard work and commitment. Its a path that leads somewhere.

Scam. Delete it as SPAM! I receive at least one of these a day from UK and many other places. It is a joke!

No not true at all. My sister got a check in the mail for $2500.00, said to deposit it then give them $2300 of it and in return she would get her $80,000.00 cash prize delivered to her door. People are mean to get one's hopes up like this, sorry hun they're just trying to take your money.
