1) DID YOU BUY A TICKET ???
2) DID YOU GIVE THEM YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ???
If you can answer 'no' to the above questions, then ask yourself , HOW is it possible to 'win' without buying a Ticket ??? and HOW is it possible to inform you via eMail if you never gave them your eMail address ??
Check out "419 scams" ... and turn on your SPAM filters ...
They just want your details so they can steal your Identity, max. out your Credit cards and empty your Bank accounts ..

likely a scam
lots of others like that below
***
since you've obviously never heard of it, you didn't enter. If you didn't enter [pay], you can't really win now can you?
[Ladbroke's doesn't tell you you've won unless you've paid cash for your bets, now do they?]
***
give 'em no information and no more of your time.
g'day
