prolly SPAM.
if there's a link to a site or an attachment don't click as that may probably be a virus

There are a ton of these things out there. I have been contacted by long lost relatives that were dying of something and had lots of bucks in some bank and would share it with me if I would give some to charity and all I had to do was contact the bank and give them some money to cover documentation expenses and then I would be a millionaire. That is the short form. NOTE PLEASE --I used to open them and save them just because they were so funny. Proper security practice is to NOT EVEN OPEN AN EMAIL IF YOU DON"T KNOW THE SENDER. Tough? Yup, but it is needed these days. But, it was fun to be rich for a minute or so, wasn't it?

It's spam. People will spam your account all the time saying that you "won the lotto", usually from a foreign country (but not always). Don't pay any attention to it, it's actually surprising that you haven't seen more of those.

Do not worry and do not reply .It is an adware that you've received . Lotto must have tracked your e-mail id and have sent the mail to boost their business .
