If it asks for your personal info such as credit card and bank account number, then yes.

You would be surprised at how many lotto's there are and most of them originate from overseas. If they ask that you send any amount of money to make sure you win it's a scam. I see tons of this stuff as I work at a major post office. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is. Check out the return address if there is none but a website or a phone #, it's overseas and if you call it could be 50.00 a minute to call and you don't know until you get your bill. They may have a website but you have to join the club to get your number and need your credit card number and once you put it in and press the join button that is an immediate 75.00 hit to your credit card. Be careful they have many ways to trick you into spending money you didn't intend to spend.

Yeah. Hard to believe that all the winners have to pay state as well as federal taxes and nobody in the government has noticed that winners (and their taxable money) don't exist. Lets say that ALE gives away prizes of a taxable million dollars a month (and I'm falling real short on this one, but bare with me). The winner of this mill has to pay taxes on his prize, about 35 percent. I don't know about you, but if I was $350,000 dollars short a month I'd be pretty pissed off, and we all know what happens when Uncle Sam is owed some cash.
Now in case you're just bitter because you haven't hit the jackpot "yet", don't forget that your chances of ever doing this are 1: 146,107,962. GOOD LUCK!!!

yes and no, they sign you up, but you get alot of adds when getting your numbers along with spyware. also if you read it you find that you split it with the other users even if it did win. not a scam really, but a big rip-off
