It is spam.

Due to the number of lottery scams no legitimate company would ever notify you by email that you have won a prize. Every email that states you have won a lottery or there is money waiting for you is a scam. There will be a followup asking for a prepayment of some type of fee to receive the money. Haven't you noticed that even though you have won 100 million your name appears nowhere in the email? It may not even contain your email address. If people were winning 100 million every day it would be on the news with pictures of the lucky people. Unless you enter a lottery or contest, such as with one of the magazine companies, any notification is a scam. If you get 100 million you will not be notified by email. §

This is a SCAM. Back away.
What will happen is that you will respond and they wil lsay "Oh gee, you need to pay some 'TRANSFER FEES' ..." or some such nonsense. So you pay. Then there will be "Referral Fees" or maybe there are fees for the Money Exchange rate, or may be something else.
The point here is that there IS NO MONEY. THERE IS NOOO MONEY. All that you will find is some one asking you for money and more money and more money. Remember, regardless of how much money you pay, you will never get any. Because: THERE IS NO MONEY!
Scam. Backaway.
