This is a form of "Advance Fee Scam". You will contact the person and they will congratulate you and blah blah blah and then they will "Oh gee, you need to pay the transfer fees..." or maybe it's Port Fees, or maybe it's Late Fees on a Video Rental, but at any rate, they will ask for money. If you PAY the fees, thinking 'Oh yeah, a little bit to get the big bucks..." you will be surprised to find out there are MORE fees, and then EVEN MORE FREAKING FEES.
The only time they will stop asking for money is when you refuse to pay. THEN, they will stop contacting you.
You see, there is no lottery, there is no money. There IS a Scammer trying to get money out of you.
Delete the email and move on.

Be careful - if they ask for money then its a scam. In fact if you haven't entered a lottery then how can you have won one??!! There are lots of these scams going around, they ask you to send money to 'release' the funds and stuff like that - and you lose your money! Take care - if you have really, really won then Good Luck!

Don't do anything. I recieved an email years ago saying I inherited milloins from a relative in Russia or something like that...The computer got such a bad virus when I went to respond that we had to just throw it out. So I suggest not doing anything about it.

If you haven't played the lottery then you have not won. I get those type of emails all the time.

It's a scam, so don't respond to their contacts if they make any more.
