It is not true. You should never have to pay anything for a prize. A hoax.

This is a SCAM. We hear about them all the time. People get phone calls from people who claim to be Customs officers in Detroit saying we're holding a lottery check for you and it'll cost anywhere from $250.00 to $2,500.00 to have it released. It's a crock. Don't give them any money and don't try to cash any checks or other negotiable instruments they send you -- believe me, they'll bounce. Do me a favor and report these @$$holes to Phonebusters: 1-888-237-5450

This is a known scam. Any (good) Graphic Designer can make a document look offical. Forget about it.

The only people winning lotteries here are those that will take YOUR money and YOUR
