No, there is no legitimate company that would send you a letter like that. It is a scam to get you to send them money to claim your "winnings". You will lose money if you are stupid enough to fall for it.

I got a letter from world wide lotto as well. It has a check with it. The check is to cover the tax and clearance fee(it says). It says to cash or deposit the check. It also gives an agent name, phone number and location. I have done nothing with the check because Im concerned that it may be a scam. I havent been able to reach the agent listed on the letter. If Im able to contact this person, I will let you know what they say. It seems very shady.

It's SPAM, its not real, its a fake thing trying to dupe you. Don't fall for it, and just mark it as spam and delete it ASAP. I've gotten those emails myself. Why would I living in Seattle be entering a Lotto in the UK? Haha doesn't make sense so just delete it. It's a scam.

Did you enter this lotto?
Its probaly the Nigerians. Fraud is one of their main industries.
They are hoping your greed outweighs your common sense and will probably try to get your personal information so they can steal your identity, raid your bank account or will say you need to send them money in order for you to recieve the money they claim you won.
Ignore, delete and mark as Spam.

No, it is a scam. If you give them any info they will drain your bank account. Report them to scams@fraudinternational.com You can't win a lottery you didn't enter.

You can't possibly win a lotto you didn't enter, there are no random drawings.
