it's a scam & a con.
ignore it, delete it DO NOT SEND MONEY.
money given to these outfits funds terrorism, criminals or things even worse.

To win the National Lottery you need to buy a ticket.
Even if you buy a ticket and win, it is up to you to check your numbers and file your claim with Camelot HQ - they do not come looking for you. If no-one claims the jackpot within 180 days then it goes to good causes and you can kiss it goodbye.
In short, this is a scam, and not a clever one at that. Still, people fall for it every day.

Nope, bin it, did you enter this lottery, probably not, how about replying to them saying that if you have won take the tax money out of your winnings, bet you dont get a reply!

Do not believe that. They just want you give them money and they will send you a phony check.
