Mr Patel, you must first contact a lady in Nigeria, Mrs Objama concerning the death of her husband the Finance Minister who put over 25million US dollars and 300pounds of gold away, but poor Mrs Objama has no way to collect this without your help.
What you have to do is first collect your winnings from the Lotto International and then contact Mrs Objama and invest into her missing money/gold situation by giving her a portion of your lottery winnings, she will then make sure that you get at least 25 to 30 percent of her late husbands fortune. Don't worry if you can't find Mrs Objama wait a day and you will get a letter from someone else in Nigeria and have another opportunity to make your fortune.
Good Luck

Did you enter any contest? It's probably a scam to get a "processing fee" from you. If they ask for any money at all from you it is a scam. If they ask for any of your bank account or credit card information it is a scam. Try looking at this site for information

A good rule of thumb is that if you win something you don't have to pay anything until the prize is yours and the tax man comes for his cut.

I myself got an e-mail message yesterday saying I won US$500,000 in an International e-mail lottery. This official-looking e-mail came from Nigeria (warning sign no. 1) but the domain name on the contact address was .pl (warning sign no. 2). (Isn't this Poland?) I have heard of this scam before. You contact them. They ask for information to confirm your identity to claim your prize. (Social Security number). Then, they ask for your bank account information to send you the money. GOTCHA! Now you're identity, your money, AND your credit history are just that, HISTORY! Please don't fall for it.

Report it to your police. It is a scam and your will be the big loser.These scams lead you to think you have won money but ask you to send them money to process your winnings.If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

It is a scam to get your credit card number and bank account number. There are lots of these going around.
