This is a big time scam. If it was legitimate, they would subtract the fees from your winnings.

SCAM. How to tell:
Did you enter a lottery?
Have you ever heard of a lottery that notifies winners via email?
Have you every heard of paying to participate in a lottery after you found out you have already won?
If you answered no to any (should have been all), it's a scam. If you answered yes to any (should have been none), wake up and smell the coffee. It's a scam brewing.

The bank charges the transfer fee not the lottery. When they're transfering the money to you the account that the money was transfered out from gets charged a fee.
Every bank has its own fees. So if this lottery is asking you to pay for their banking fees I would say hell no. Your not doing them the favor.

scam. I get these like every day. No one is that lucky. Plus international lotteries are ILLEGAL, and u cant win a lottery that you didnt enter. Sorry. I even tried calling the number on one, it was like overseas. The guy answered the phone very unprofessionally, was like "um, uhhhh.... lemme call you back" and never did. they are just trying to launder money thru u.

SCAM. If it's an email, delete it. If snail mail, discard it. As I said in another answer, if you win something, they pay you; you don't pay them.

Yes, it is a scam. Especially if you never entered anything.
Sorry.
