Is this a real lottery from"Elizabeth Hanks(Mrs)."
no, its a scam. I work in the office block based at that address and there is no such company. You are one of the intelligent ones to have queried this...others have posted cheques (I believe incoming post addressed to this so called "lottery" company are intercepted outside our offices by the scammers....but the police are now on to them). However some have managed to find there way in to our office and these have all be either returned to sender or destroyed (for all those bits of post coming in from the US)

Fraudulent (Scam) Emails – what to do first
Lottery scam (fraudulent) emails are increasing at an alarming rate.
Scam emails try to persuade the email receiver to submit personal information or to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning lottery prize.
As a general rule, if you have not purchased a ticket for the UK National Lottery, you won’t have won a prize, and you should treat the email with absolute caution.
The following points are some things to look for in order to identify a fraudulent email:
* If the email says ‘Winning Notification’ or ‘Lottery Sweep Stake’ in the text, the email you’ve received is not from UK National Lottery;
* We don’t tell players how much they've won in an email; and
* We don’t ask for any Player information like name, address or bank details on an email.

No it's not real.
Rule of thumb:
You can't win if you don't play....
If you have never participated in this "lottery" you didn't win!
