It's nothing more than a scam. If you pay the courier fee you wont hear from them again and if you give bank details for them to pay into your account expect to find yourself in huge debt. Ignore and delete the email you were sent.

My dear, it is most definitely a scam.
And now, the scammers know that your email address is valid, and live, and that you are a sucker for the "too good to be true".
Get ready, you will be deluged with every scammer across the globe. Once you verify that you are a live person willing to believe the unbelievable, the value of selling your email address goes through the roof.
Sorry about your losing, and good luck with the spam.

It is most certainly a scam. You said you did not buy any ticket
Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid, but every time I see an email like this I immediately delete it

It is probley a check scam, they send you X amounts of checks, you cash them illegally (they are illegal checks) Then they want you to send X amount back to them. Do NOT buy into it it is a scam, it is illegal and it could get you into ALOT of trouble

Please don't fall for this. Its a total rip off, You obviously think you have won this money but you haven't. If you do anything else you will end up out of pocket big time.
