No, these are unfortunately fake. As a rule of thumb, you cannot win something if you have not bought a lottery ticket.
I speak from experience. I was conned out of my money in November. I hope you can learn from my mistake.

If they're going to paypal the money to your email address or mail you a check, congratulations!
If they want you to fill out your bank account info, or send them a small deposit to claim the money, it's a scam.
As a general rule of thumb, treat all emails from strangers as if you were approached by a stranger on the street.
If a stranger walked up to you and said you won a mystery lottery that you never entered, then handed you a check for 500,000, would you take it? Of course!
If a stranger walked up to you and said you won a mystery lottery that you never entered, then asked for your bank account information, would you give it to him? Of course not!

Did you enter a lottery?
If not, then it has to be a scam. You don't win contests you didn't enter.
