A legitimate lottery would not cost you money.

They ask for money first. This is a tell tale sign of a scam. If you had really won this "lottery", then I am sure they would be happy to hust deduct the courier cost from your winnings. Don't do it.

Of course, there isn't any such thing as the UK National Lottery, and of course you didn't participate in something that doesn't exist. Right? This is spam, put it where it belongs.

It sure is false - it's just a scam. You didn't really win anything.
