Absolutely not. Any lotto site that contacts you via email is a scam. Any lotto site that contacts you without your having signed up is a scam. And most important of all, any lotto site that asks for money or financial information of any type to get your winnings is, you got it, a scam. Heck, freelotto is even one of the better known and more constant offenders. Do not even open their email. Delete it unread or report it to your providers abuse department.

Do NOT reply to that, I get a hundred of those emails a day. Its a scam. Obviously you didn't sign up for any lottery or played any numbers so how could you of won something? Its a SCAM. I also get emails all the time saying I have a long distant relative from Nigeria who just died and has a million dollars unclaimed and the money is to go to me all I have to do is give them all my personal information. This too, is a SCAM.

sounds like a scam, because if it's a freelotto and then why are they asking for some money. Either they want your credit card number or your bank account starting with your routing number and followed by your account number. if you have yahoo mail i would suggest the next time you get an email from them check the box (but don't open it), and click on the spam button it will activate the spam filter and put a block on your email address.
So that the sender cannot send you any more emails.
But if it's real disregard this answer

The financial guru ( he has written 14 books & has radio show all over the nation) Clark says no & it is a way of getting into your account to clean it out.

If you pay it, you will go from winner to loser.
IMO, it's a scam.
