If you have had an e-mail saying you have won then it's a scam.
You only win by actually buying a ticket, either in shops or on line.
If you have not done that then you are being scammed and should delete the e-mail without replying

Big scam. Have you ever bought a ticket for this lottery? They want your money and they have none to offer you.
There are so many ways to get burned by this scam.
1. They tell you that there is a fee for taxes or expenses or something that you need to pay up front. You pay, they disappear.
2. They send you a big check and you are instructed to cash it and then pay them back fees and taxes and such from that check. Once that is done, they will send you the rest of the money. You do that and they disappear and then you find out the check was bad and you are expected to give the money back to the bank.
3. They need your bank account info so they can put the money in there. They empty the account out and/or they use the account for more illegal purposes which really ruins your life for a while.
4. They need all of your identification information for verification or something. They use this to steal your identity. That can haunt you for years.

If you're talking about the e-mail you got, it's a scam.
If you're talking about the betting slip you picked up down the newsagent's, that is legit.
