Real lotteries take the taxes out of the winnings, you don't pay them first. Plus you can't win something if you didn't enter it. Someone's scamming you.

Please do not send any money. If you don't even remember entering a lottery you definitely did not win it.
It is one of thousands of scams going on across the globe. Visit this FBI website to see other examples.
If you still have the letter please take it to your local police or report it to the FBI.

It's a scam - don't give any money away.
