Yes,it's fake.This is what's refered to as a 419 or advance fe scam.They want your contact information so they can ask you to pay the taxes or some other nonsense upfront.They take the 10-12 thousand from you,and never give you anything.Check out 419 eaters.

Be careful! Of course it IS a fake. Once I got an email informing me that some of my relatives in Australia had died and I was to inherit lots of money. Funny:) Have NO relatives there!

if you had really won something they should already HAVE your name, address, phone. They got your email off the internet.
Don't call or talk to them. They are scam artists.

Did you buy a ticket?
If you did buy a ticket, did you give your email address?
I'm guessing the answer is NO
Therefore its a SCAM! Run away!

I have a feeling if you are asking this question they picked your email address for a reason. Not to be rude, but nothing is free...Did you enter it? Fill out somthing for it?
