The UK National Lottery is run by Camelot. You buy a ticket for £1 and every Saturday and Wednesday numbers are drawn and you either win or lose. If you win you have to phone the number on the back of your ticket to claim your winnings. No one from the organisers know who has bought a ticket.
If you get an email telling you you have won a lottery this will be a scam. You will be asked to pay for taxes, shipping fees and all sorts of things up front. You will never be sent any money. The other scam is to ask for your bank details so that the money can be paid straight in. This won't happen and money will be taken from your account instead.

Certainly it is a fiddle. I know for sure it is a fiddle yet I buy a lucky dip every week. Fiddles are never perfect, some times it goes wrong or to keep the books straight they have to give away some thing some time.So I wait for that, it happens once in a blue; never know, when it happens I may be in. It is a government supported project which was of course not in Labour's manifesto. Margaret Thatcher made changes in Council Tax, the whole nation started protests, Labour started Congestion Charges, collecting money through Lottery just to make up the deficits through lottery money, and no one speaks. Richard Branson bid for honest dealing to keep it clean, he lost the case in High Court. We all know it now, but at the elections Tory were repeatedly asking where the money will come from, the Labour was not replying. After all these years now we know these were the hidden sources, more traffic wardens, more motorist penalties, more camera flashings, more convictions, frankly no one dares to open mouth.

I have fun with these, I say sure send me the money, then when they want money to send my "winnings" I just tell them "official UK lottery" said I did not have to pay up front to get my "winnings" The best was it had to be sent by 'courier' because it may get stolen..... I just told them to put in envelope and send it because 'cashier checks' could not be cashed without ID and UK was not at war with USA. That was 3 months ago I am still waiting~~~the "courier" service they want to use is on the SCAM list too......
