SCAM.
You pay the $1000 and they disappear.
Just ignore it.

It's a scam. Think of it this way, if you win the lottery here in the states do you have to pay to get your money? NO, it's a scam just throw it away and go on with your life don't waste your hard earned money giving it to a scam artist. happy holidays

i saw a show on this a couple of months ago. a canada lottery had taken a lot of money from people and dissapeared before the people got their "winnings" they had asked this one lady to pay 1000 then they said "we never got your money" so she ended up paying like 3000 for nothing. it is a hoax..... dont do it

Completely bogus. If you truly won a lottery, you DO NOT have to pay money to receive your winnings. EVER.

Stop opening unsolicited emails from unknown senders. You will never find anything of value in them. They are all scams and spam or even worse, infected with computer virus. Opening them lets the sender know they have a live email address and you get flooded with even more spam.
Just delete them all unopened.

The same question is posted every 3 or 4 days. The answer is always the same. Its fake and anything too good to be true is actually too good especially if you have not entered anything.

BOGUS, BOGUS, BOGUS. Don't do it unless you want to lose alot of money. It's funny how a BRITISH lottery is contacting you in the U.S. Don't do it to yourself and if you want to learn the hard way, do it.
