While there really is a UK lottery where you buy tickets and can win money, the ones that send you an email claiming you've won large sums are scams. Reply to them, and you'll either be asked for personal information, or for money to pay the costs of processing your "winnings" and delivering them to you.

I received similar emails. They asked me to open a bank account in Manchester by depositing GBP2000. I think it is a scam. Something to be done to these scamsters.
