Did you buy a lottery ticket?
If not this is a scam. I get about five per day.
Just delete it and ignore it..

No it'sprobably not real. Did you buy a ticket? Did you give the lottery your e-mail address? If the answer to any of these questions is NO then I would say it's a Definite SCAM. there are people out there trying to find a sucker to give personal information about their social security number, bank details etc so they steal your identity and go and pretend it's you, then steal all your money. IDelete these kind of e-mails. you don;t want to be the next victim of identity theft

I won too. The only prize is the free unsolicited email. if you didn't buy a ticket then obvioulsy it is a scam. Especially when the email asks for 'banking information'.
Don't reply or they will continue to hound you and find other ways to scma money from you.

If you bought a ticket, it may be real.
If you learned about it through e-mail, it probably is someone out to scam some money off of you.

more than likely no. don't send any money. if it's e-mail based don't click on any links (key logger). If it's a toll free number call or write them a letter snail mail. best of luck.
