The email asked for my name, address, phone#. I am always dubious of anyone giving anything away. Is this a scam?

YES, this is a scam do not respond and delete the message. Never give information online! The old saying that if something sounds to good to be true then it is not true is something to go by. Be safe!

You won't lose anything giving them your name, address and phone... it's in the directory anyway. But how would they elect you for this prize without even knowing your name?

it's phishing -- they want your bank acct number or your ID to start opening credit cards. this is definitely a rip.
