Let's put this in a different light. How many times have _you_ sent e-mails to random addresses offering them a bunch of your money for free? Noone awards unsolicited money via e-mail. It just doesn't happen. If you did get a legitimate prize, it would be from something that you would have knowingly submitted your e-mail address to, and they would likely defray their costs by selling your address to spammers and the people who send out scam e-mails like this.

RON'S NIGHTMARE: Hermione kissing Harry. Harry kissing Hermione. Ginny kissing Malfoy. Marrying Lavender. Having Lavender's kids. Being in Slytherin. Living in a house full of spiders with Lavender's kids, Lavender fawning over him 24/7, Hermione and Harry dead, Ron and Lavender living lightyears away from anyone else. Nice snape's nightmare. First hangman I can do! LUNA LOVEGOOD :)

Yes it is a scam. Mark it as spam and make sure they are on your blocked sender list. There is no such thing as free money.
