It is most certainly a SCAM, do a search on foreign lottery scam.
Do not send them any money and DO NOT deposit any checks from them into the bank.
If you did, you could be charged with check fraud.

If you got an email or letter saying that you've won, then it's not real. If you got a solicitation to buy a ticket, then it's almost certainly not legit.

This is definitely a scam. I get about five per day.
Just delete it and ignore it..
