Fake, definitely fake. I get those emails every now and then, and it's just an attempt to verify your email address so they can send even more spam in your direction. Don't reply.

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...

I just got a similar email. In the last week, I have received 5 or 6, each saying the same thing. I won $552, 000 sterling pounds. What's up with that. Do you play the monthly contest, "Common Answers" on Brain Bashers???? Maybe that's how they got our email addresses. What do we do?????

Total scam; listed on the UK national page. If you didn't buy a ticket, you are being scammed by someone pretending to be them. NO ONLINE LOTTERY
QUick tip for identifying these things? REAL COMPANIES HAVE MAIL SERVERS AND DON'T USE YAHOO FOR MAIL.

First of all, they're email is a comcast.net email? Does Comcast even provide service in the UK?
Also if you won the lottery, they would not be contacting you by email.
And 3rdly, if you were identified as the winner, why would they be asking you for your full name?

This is a classic "phishing" scam designed to extract all of the information necessary for identity theft from you.
