Answer 1

is there a question somewhere in there?

Answer 2

~I think it must be a typo, I only got 80K. If they were asking for money with the confirmation notice they require, send it right away because you only have a limited time to answer. Or, send me 5k and I'll handle the grunt work for you and we can split the prize. It most assuredly is real. Don't blow it.

Answer 3

examine the position it got here from... did it come from yahoo... also imagine, did you do something to win the lottery, also, if it asks for something like a password or income go back or a shoe, then its a rip-off... All actual lotteries do not ask for something of yours.

Answer 4

if you read further, it will say something like
"To claim this, we need $100 from you in money order, sent to......."
Then there is some bogus post office box that probably is set up for a couple of days hoping to catch some sucker then they will shut down that po box.... running with your $100 and everyone else's... Thats how the scam works..

Answer 5

TYPE the email address you got it from in google, it will tell you a list of spams emails and scams.

Answer 6

Are you kidding? $800,000? Sounds too good to be true..when that's the case, it usually is...

Answer 7

Don't accept it. You'll pay more taxes on it then you actually win.

Answer 8

Answer 9
