You can't be serious!
Yes it is real. Send them $50,000 good faith money and they'll have the funds wired to your bank account. Oh, don;t forget to give them your social security number and all your bank account information. You might also want to give them all your credit card numbers to prove you are an honest person.
And people wonder why they keeping sending these things out. In the words of P.T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute".

It probably is a scam. I get alot of those type of emails. Since I never entered any of those, than I know they are. They are looking to any personal information they can, especially bank info.
Do not give any PRIVATE info, you will regret it. The only other thing I can say is Research...Research...everything very throughly. Don't let yourself get sucked into a Scam

It's absolutly a scam. Any legit jackpot would have called you. They have your number because they texted you. Besides the company has "promotions" in their name. Obviously it's a marketing ploy. Once they get your email address, get ready for a ton of junk e-mail to come your way.

It's a scam. Next they will ask you for a "processing fee", once you pay that you won't be able to locate them. Think about this: What kind of company does business via text messaging??

If you didn't enter it, then you could not have won it. Sounds like a scam.
