Another scam. It is amazing how you can think you won something you did not enter, or that you won through some randow e-mail drawing. These things prey on the greed of their victims and are only seeking to get your bank account information and other personal ID information so they can clean you out.
Don't fall for it. You will do nothing but lose and lose until you think it is not possible to lose any more, and then you will lose some more.
Delete that thing ASAP. There is no such person as William Gerri, and PHD stands for Positively Hot Deception.

It's a scam to the utmost, i always get them, so i figure if you want to get my email and waste my time then, i will have some fun with them and waste their time, usually they will say that they are from a foreign country or i have won a huge lottery prize so i email them back and tell them i will need 98% of the prize money, or if they are from the lottery, i will tell them that i need over half the money up front in "Good Faith" then i will give them the info they need, after a few emails, they will stop but beware, if you play the games with them be prepared to deal with others to whom they will pass your email address to, i love playing with them, i have not gotten an email from any of them for 4 months now. If they mess with you, Mess with them. Peace

If you didn't buy a lottery ticket what makes you think you won. It is a scam. If you respond they will ask you for personal information and also for you to forward a certain amount of money in order to guarantee the winnings. DON'T DO IT!

Come on!!! If you win that much money, do you think they would contact you by email? And a lottery authority does not need someone with a PHD to contact you. They would have a reprentative contacting you personally.
Show some intelligence, mate!

Ignore it. Dr Gerri will either want you to send money or give him your credit details. Put a block on anymore emails

NO !! They will ask for you banking info and then drain every cent you have in it. Only way to stop is to close the account and open a new one. That or they will tell you to send so much money to "process" it. It's a scam.

Did you buy a lottery ticket?
