There is a national lottery in the UK, but you shouldn't ever have to pay anything to get your prize.
This is definately a scam, just ignore it! You`ll send them money and then get nothing in return.

Unless you actually bought a ticket in person or subscribed and paid for a ticket online, you can't have won anything. If you buy a ticket in a shop, you don't have to give any contact details until you go to collect your winnings. If you had subscribed online, you would know about it as you have to pay for the ticket upfront! The National Lottery is run by a company called Camelot. Sounds like you have been scammed to me!

There is a lottery in the UK, but you buy tickets for it.
The email you got is a scam. I've gotten them a number of times. If you send them the "delivery fee", you'll never hear from them again. A legitimate lottery doesn't charge a fee to collect your prize. Just delete the email - you didn't win anything.

The notification email you have received is a SCAM do not give any information of personal details... delete or better still send it to spoofs@national.lottery.co.uk.
Is there a national lottery in the UK.....yes there is Lotto. I have never won diddle squat from day one. 14 million to one chance on winning a million I believe though you do stand a chance of small prizes on 2 weekly lotto draws.
Good luck...better still try the Irish lottery.

It sounds like a scam that you have received, there are a lot of fraudsters out there, ask them to prove it, didi you enter? if you did'nt then it is definitely a scam, send them no money, they will rip you off. They usually operate in screwed up countries where the Governments allow them to get away with scamming people all overr the world.
Good Luck

Yes we have a National Lottery but you would not need to pay for your winnings. No one would even contact you if you won, as you need to check your winning numbers yourself. This is scam, don't pay!

There is a National Lottery. You have to buy a ticket and there's no charge for sending you your winnings.
If you haven't bought a ticket - it's a scam.

If you won a lottery, you don't pay anyone any money, they pay it to you. Otherwise it's a scam.
Same with modelling/acting agencies. They're going to make money off of you, so they don't need to ask money from you.
