It sure is!
If you reply to the sender, you will quickly find that you need to put up a big chunk of change to receive your prize. The problem is that you'll never receive a dime.
Don't make the mistake of opening emails from sources you don't know. If you do, the scammers will know your email address is valid and they'll sell it to every other scammer in the world.
Permanently delete all suspicious emails and block the sender. You will surely get more junk because the scammers use many different names, But that's better than losing a lot of money.

Yes, it's a scam. Generally, if you have to ask, you know it's a scam. Did you enter yourself into any lottery in the UK? And are all the other people who got the same e-mail in the US and other countries (myself included) really winners too? I doubt it.

I think on anything that you think might be an e-mail scam you can look on an internet site called snoops.com and find out if it is legit...you would be surprised at the things people send you about missing children etc. and they are not legit..
so check out snoops..good luck to you!

Yes. Go to snopes.com when you have want to know if something is real. I get these emails daily. Also I get emails from African nationals wanting to put money in my bank account; also a scam.Do not reply to these emails!! Delete or send them to scam.

Yes. If you win money, you should never be notified by email. You should receive a notice in the regular mail.
BTW, did you notice they couldn't even spell "coming" right in #3 at the bottom?
