It very much sounds like an advance fee fraud. You don't pay anything to receive a lottery payout, and you pay taxes to the GOVERNMENT, not the lottery company, and taxes are taken from the payout before you receive the check, you don't pay in advance.

No you could not win any lottery without procuring for a cost ticket. No tickets may well be offered for the united kingdom Lottery from outdoors the united kingdom. in case you had gained a prize, you will not be asked for money as a fashion to assemble it. the entire undertaking is unfaithful and can be mentioned to the police, incredibly. in case you have been silly sufficient to deliver them money you will not see it lower back, nor would you notice any prize. the best undertaking is to delete the e-mail and undergo in concepts that no-one supplies money for not something!

I hope you haven't paid those people anything. The best thing for you to always keep in mind, no matter what you are trying to do is that you do not need to pay anyone to claim a prize, get your compensation or collect funds due to you. I would say that is a scam.
