You have not won anything. This is a SCAM.
Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Is there any bank name FALCON BV in amsterdam, Netherland which offers lottery payment?
- May be yes, may be no.
Is the lottery REAL?
- No, it's a scam, and you're not the first to fall victim. Thousands of these scams are going round the world, and people keep falling for it because they're trying their luck on the wrong game.
It's your choice, whether you want to be smart or not so smart.
