Anytime, anyone emails you telling you you've won something it is a scam or a stupid survey, delete the email and go buy a real lottery ticket.

It is a scam! Do not give them your name or address. Do not click on the link. Do not give them any information. Do not call them on the telephone. Do not give them your telephone number. Do not give them anything. Delete the question and do not respond at all. This is a bad scam and we must ignore these type scam emails.
I hope this helps you.
