No, it is not true.
This kind of scam tries to get you to send them money (tax), and then they don't send you anything.
If you were to win a real lotto, the government sponsoring it would definitely take the tax out of the proceeds. Think about it -- why would a government NOT withhold their share of your winnings?

If you received an email, this is a scam! I hope you have not given them any personal information.

You did not win. It is a scam.
You pay the money and that is the last that you will here from them.
