No, it is not legal. If you are not in the UK, the lotteries there (with the single exception of Euromillions) are illegal for you. Euromillions is only legal within the European Union. And if you are the United States or Australia, no foreign lottery anywhere is legal for you.
Furthermore, if the lottery wants you to send them money in order to get your winnings, it IS FRAUD. That's the classic sign of a Nigerian 419 scam.
Lastly, did you enter the lottery? If you didn't enter, you cannot have won a thing.
