Answer 1

If you go out to your search engine and type in email lottery [scam] you will find there are a whole lot of them out there.

Just as a reality check, how would a person win a lottery if they didn't buy a ticket?

Answer 2

It's just a scam - delete the email. You didn't win anything. If you send them the fees they are asking for, you can just kiss that money goodbye.

This is a very common scam and most people with emails have "won" these lotteries several times.

Wow have not seen that one yet. But I did get one from some one who claimed to be a marine who had found millions of dollars in Iraq and wanted help getting it over to the USA.

Answer 4
