That is a scam. Tear it and throw it away. If you deposit the check, it will bounce and you will the owe the bank all that money back.

Its a scam.I have received atleast 8 mails and am still receiving them from UK lottery,Irish lottery an what not.I was tempted and tried to contact them but they were fakes.They usually ask for name,address,bank's name or account no.or the latest I recd.from UK lottery,they promised the draft was with the courier services and I shd contact them and therein lay the snag.The courier co.asked for 800 GBP.and then would send the courier to me .I asked them to keep it.Now I report them to scam.Dont entertain them unless they send the money to you in cash.

What information are they asking from you to claim that lottery? If you have to provide any personal information or send any money then it is definitely a scam. Be careful of what and how you respond to this message.

well if someone said you won the lottery first if you look at the email adress you will find out if you know that person or not if you dont it may not be true it may just be a scam if you know the persons email maybe you won it.

it's spam.
unless you entered an online lottery, in which case you would have a user id and password. Lottery companies are required by law to communicate officially, - phone, letter mail etc. not by email.

That's all crap. I receive atleast 2 or 3 mails per day. I tried to check waht it is out of curiosity. They asked me to send $17,000 to claim 1 million USD. So just ignore it.
