If you did not enter into a contest than this is SPAM, get rid of it, delete it. Do not open any more of these emails because you could be opening up a virus.

Look at the questions I have answered on this site in my info. There are so many winners there could not be enough money to pay them all.There is no International Lottery.This is a Nigeria scam. Yahoo/MSN, U.K. and Australian lotteries, football lotteries from the same counties, Global-Link, World Poverty, Microsoft, Free Lotto, which now seems to have it's own people answering gambling questions on this site claiming they have won which is a total lie, and hundreds more. I am a retired Police Officer that has years of experience investigating Internet scams and frauds. This is an old one. The common link to them getting your email is on line surveys. Yahoo does not give it's stock holders money away nor does it give it's email subscribers address's to lotteries. The only way to win in a lottery is to buy a ticket, if you didn't you could not possibly win. Here is the website of the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigates cross border Internet crime. You may file a complaint there. www.econsumer.gov. Also go to www.ripoffreport.com and browse complaints and you will find many having the same doubts as yourself about these scams. Below is a typical scam and how they work it. They just go under a thousand different names. They are asking you to send a prepayment to collect your winnings and they want you to send it by a money wire service. Lotteries do not just pick your name out of thin air, and just so happen to have your email also. No Internet service provider gives their email list out to lotteries. If you did not pay to play you could not possibly win.

hey, well i dont need to tell you as well that it is a scam, however i will tell you that i came accross this question when i a googled UKON2007 lottery program to research the email which i recieved about 4 days ago.(Same as yours) even if you dont wanna just believe that then compute this ... when didi money become so cheap that they could give it away in those proportions to 6 people in the same week, without us putting anything into it. NO ticket ... No payoff.

of coursde its a scam. what on earth made you think you may have won a lottery IF you haven't bought t ticket it possible that soem organsiationm m ay organise a raffle where people are entered without their express knowledge and consent. but do you really think there is soemone out there who has bought a lottery ticket on your behalf, and that oddly enought thtat ticket has won and they want to send you the money... lets see know, if you had bought a lottery ticket for someone unknown, and if that lottery ticket won wouyld you send an email to them saying they've won a large amount of money. would you? ... no I didn't think so, so why should these be genuine

Probably not...most likely a scam. If you didn't enter a lottery it is for sure. My guess is if this is legitimate they would contact you another way.
