Did you purchase a ticket? If not it is a scam.

If they do not want any money it maybe authentic, but I live in Hawaii and get those emails from Australia all the time. Do not send any money most of them will say you have to pay taxes on your winnings to them. Its is a famous fraud scheme people use to take your money. Yes they will have real people to talk to, but do not give them any account numbers or deposit any money orders from them. 99% sure its bogus. Check them out on different websites i.e BBB. If its a large amount of money talk to a lawyer first.

Did you enter the Australia Lottery? If not, how can you be a winner? Do not respond to the letter, it is a scam.

Chances are that you did not enter and the certificate is bogus, i would call the better business bureau or the attorney generals office and check it out, but my guess is it is a scam

Don't fall for it. It is more than likely a scam. Did you personally enter this lotto?
