absolutely not. Its an attempt to gain your ID. Doesn't that country have like an Attorney General to stop this scam?

this is most probably a scam. the only real lotto game is the National lottery. If they rang you and have said you need to call a premium rate number ie 090 number DO NOT DO IT! throw it away and thank yourself that you did not waste your money through your phone bill. I used to work on a National lottery machine and can garantee this was legitimate. hope this helps

They are a scam and it is illegal to play foreign lotteries. Go to scams.com, if it is still on the net and they'll have more info on all scams!!

You can't win a lottery you didn't enter. It's as simple as that. It is a scam to steal your identity and empty your bank account.

If you live in the UK then they are legal, or be a scam. But, if you live in the USA it is illegal to enter lotteries that are in another country.
