They say that they have therefore decided to transfer funds electronically to my checking account and that Bill Gates is himself waiting to transfer funds to my checking account once he gets my checking account information.
Then they say that to transfer funds they need my bank routing number, checking account number and visa or mastercard debit number and that they will do the transfer via paypal which is 100% safe without compromise of any confidential financial information.
They say they will transfer $100 million, once Bill Gates the information.
And then they write their online lottery office address as somewhere in Darfur, Sudan.

Its pretty sad that people even have to ask if this is real or not. Come on! If you won money people won't ask for your checking account number. Its a scam big time!
