It is a scam. They provide an incentive (a great prize), but then the prize is usually held in customs (or other problems arise), which makes it neccessary for you to pay a fee. This fee is always transferred to the scammer.
Then you never hear of them again. And of course you don't recieve anything...

Microsoft does not offer lotteries or lottery prizes. It is a scam. It is SPAM! Block their address. As to filing a formal complaint, I don't know how to do that and I seriously doubt that would have any affect on them.

It's a scam. Just forget it.
