It is so obviously a scam, simply by seeing all the grammatical, spelling, and other errors. A legitimate lottery would not have mistakes.
This scam is very common in a variety of forms. It is sent to millions of email addresses in the hope that a few will respond. Respondents then are asked to pay the tax or processing fee or something else in order to receive their prize. there is no lottery and no prizes. Whoever responds is a prize fool.

That email has been sent to a bunch of people, and if it were the case of 25 winners, i know 5 of them already! Just to say, it is probably a spam email trying to get information in order to ship people here to america... just to say the least. They could probably steal your identity just with the info they're asking ,adn stuff like that should be reported so the source of the emails can be sent. Sure, its not your SSN or anything, but still that info is alone enough to pinpoint where you are and who you are. If i were you, just delete it and pretend it never happened.

Lotteries are easy scams.
Did you buy a ticket? If not, it's a scam. But the lure of easy money draws a lot of people in. Delete it and walk away...
