Ignore, deleat, block sender. Show no interest, otherwise you will never hear the end of those people. And you will never see a penny, either, it's a scam.
There is an older lady in my building. She got a letter telling her that she won a lottery, and responded. Now she gets a couple of letters a day from dozens of "organizations" telling her she won, occasionally asking for money to arrange the transfer of funds, or her bank information. She asked my wife, who is fluent in Spanish (hence my name) to contact one of these organizations in Spain. My wife called and reached a home with babies crying in the background, and a guy trying to convince her it was the office for Spanish lotteries.
If you did not buy a ticket, you are not entered. If someone tells you you won a lottery in a foreign country you have never visited, they are conning you. And the slightest bit of interest will mark you forever as an easy touch.

Let the local law enforcement know if you start recieving anything in the mail. If you get checks send it to the cops. A friend of mine, his dad went thru that. Yes it is a scam.

Yes, it's a scam. Do not open it, it could contain a virus! I get them but, I do not open them, just to be on the safe side!

If you have to ask this question - it is a scam.
You can't win the lottery if you never entered it.

You're an idiot if you think this might be real. Lotteries don't give prizes to people who don't enter.

According to my email, I am now officially a multi-BILLIONAIRE. Wish I could claim it.
Now, don't be stupid, if you're not in you can't win.
