NO.its another scam,I'm sick of saying this,If YOU DIDNT ENTER YOU CANT WIN.
If you did buy a ticket,how have they got your Email address?
If you entered online,you would have an official email and they would know your real name.

No, this is a scam. In the UK national lottery you have to claim yourself, they don't contact you.
Even if you bought your ticket online (the UK lottery runs on tickets bought not email addresses), they will send you a reminder email with the heading 'good news', and they'd already have your details but if you won that much they'd turn up at your house.

Its a SCAM..
Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...
Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...
There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...
So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..
They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...
Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...

Let me get this straight....
A "Doctor" runs the lottery.
He knows your email address, but doesn't know who you are but he's pretty convinced that having just said "CLAIM A MILLION POUNDS" that whoever he just sent the email to must of course be honest enough not to claim it if it was a mistake.
And this million pound lotto running doctor has a yahoo address because he didn't want to dip into your million pounds to set up a site like "a_real_lottery_honest.com".
If you want a laugh put him on loudspeaker at the police station and ask him who won last years lottery.

Wow - how many times can the same question be asked here? This is asked everyday, multiple times per day.
I really feel sorry for the number of people who actually think they won all this money for doing nothing and teh are notified by EMAIL about their winnings, ha! So sad, really. They are all marks and get what they deserve if they pursue it.

Not. Don't be stupid. I can't believe how many idiots ask questions just like this on this board. I'm starting to think some people deserve to be scammed just for being so completely dumb.

Everytime you receive such email you should 1st you have to ask your self..."Did you I any lottery? Did anybody ask you to join any lottery?"
It's 1 of those scam floating around the internet.
