NEVER, NEVER reply to those "lottery" or "you've won something" emails. They are scams, and also called "phishing" emails. They're only trying to get your personal info. First, you should immediately call or go to your bank (talk to a real person, not just answering machine) and tell them what you did. Ask them how you should handle it. Sometimes, it's best just to close the account, then open a new one with a different number. Anyway, your bank should be able to tell you what to do, but do it now....don't wait.
And don't open any more emails like that. There's an old saying that goes like this: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." These scams are all over the internet....don't fall for them any more, including the ones that say you've already won something.

No offense dude, but if you fell for that, you deserve to get your bank acount wiped, but don't worry, you can sell all those free iPods you've won on eBay.
