That message is both a fake and an outright fraud. Don't give the phishers any of your personal information at all. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you'll never win because it's "bogus." Another thing, the phishers telling you to "keep this lottery information confidential" would indicate to you not to say anything about this to anybody until they have finished scamming you.

It is a scam, no real company like BMW would ask for 1000 from you without even meating with you and giving you the prize.

This is a scam. BE SURE TO DELETE Email without
opening it. This is really important, to avoid viruses, etc.
