Answer 1

Sorry- it's a scam.

Look here: http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/UKNationalLotteryCamelot.php

Answer 2

Fake

Answer 3

Most definitely FAKE.
1. When did you ever give them your e-mail add?
2. They would not use e-mail to notify you anyway - YOU contact them.
3. Even if they did, they would not use a @gmail address.
ZAP the message, and be lucky.

Answer 4

Fake!!! Come on!
Why would anyone send an email like this if it was real? I'd bet you a million bucks if you replied to the email it gets returned becaues the return address is invalid.

Answer 5

I'd like to think the national lottery wouldn't have to use a gmail account

Answer 6

fake. I get those all the time. You can't win the lottery without entering or buying a ticket.

Answer 7

Fake, an official agency would never use google mail as their e-mail address.

Answer 8

Fake. No responsible organisation contacts you by e-mail in this way.
