My friend, my friend, how could you not think this as a scam, spam, and virus potential. With email there is but one rule of thumb - When In Doubt Dump (report as Spam). Open only those emails you have specifically requested or from people you know are going to email you. Open anything like the above and you are asking for hundreds of such emails, spyware, malware, and virus. Again, When In Doubt DUMP!!

Of course its a scam, how can you win a lottery if you didn't buy a ticket? The UK National lottery does not hold online draws.

YES, YES, YES
this is absolutely a SCAM.
If you personally didn't enter anything, then you can't possibly win anything. These types of scams have been around forever.
