I apparently got chosen from thousands of email addresses. Anyone else experience this?

It's a scam. You can't win a lottery you didn't enter. Forward it to scams@fraudinternational.com

419 Scam. That is what it is called. Originating from Nigeria. As you respond to them they will tell you to deposit money in certain account before you could get your money. Then you do transfer, they withdraw the money and close the account. The other scam is that the rich man has left wealth but it must be transfered to your country however you must pay administration cost for transfer. That is 4 1 9. Four One Nine. These guys are good because at some stage they forge even letters from goverment officials

Yeah it is totaly a spam email. Delete it and do not respond to it. Almost all my friends have received that email here. If you respond to it, it will ten ask you to give bank info so tey can directly deposit it from you. That is not a good idea because instead of giving money they will make it empty. It happened to a guy i know. and now he is screwd. By the way I am a paralegal in the army so i see this stuff a whole bunch. Please don't give in. Peace.

It's a scam, I read about it in a magazine just the other day, the very same one. How can you win a lottery you never entered?

Dear, it is a hoax. Can you remember you ever participate any lottery of this kind? I am sure you not. So better forget it and delete the mail from your E-mail list.

This is as phony as a 3 dollar bill.
If they ask you for money to get your prize, plan on waiting a long time for it., like forever.
