Yes, that's a scam.
Anytime you are asked to pay money for something you have "won", that's a scam.

Yes, it is a SCAM.
You are lucky that you are only out the small amount of money that you sent. You will never see it again. Just chalk it up to experience.

Yup, sure is, and a very common one. Usually the supposed prizes are bigger than that though on the scams.
