What does this mean below? it's in the free lotto prize claim?
Prior to being declared a winner of any prize, a Canadian resident will be required to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by email. If the Canadian resident does not claim their prize or cannot be contacted and the skill- test administered within 7 business days of the drawing date, the prize shall be forfeited. Failure to correctly answer the skill test question shall result in prize forfeiture.

spam
someone might win something (who knows what it is), but answering the question is necessary; but the real meaning is by answering the question, it shows your willing participation and they get licence to send you more junk mail and advertising.

Any kind of "free lotto" whether a skill-test based or otherwise is a complete scam. Some will be like that, others from a "random drawing" from a "names database" of some kind. Based on research I have done, the way most of them work is simple - They send you a "portion" from which you deposit and write a counter check to cover "taxes" in which you send to them to receive the remaining balance. The problem is the only check that's real is the one you write, and when your "winnings" check bounces, you're the one stuck paying the fees. Below are some helpful links that will provide more information.

it means that they are trying to gather your personal info. NOTHING IS FREE IN LIFE ! so don't take the chance of having your credit destroyed by thinking you can get something for free when you never entered the lotto in the first place!!!!!

They want you to confirm your e-mail address so they can sell it to the spammers. Believe me, you did not win any "free" lotto.
