Here is yet another typical scam lottery winning notification. There are two versions of the same scam on this page.
Also see this page for a sample in the UK.
Below is another example of a fake lottery. If you are tempted to respond to an email like this, then you must still believe in the tooth fairy. NO ONE, NO GOVERNMENT and NO COMPANY is going to randomly select an email address to give away money. It will NEVER happen.
Don't be an imbecile: There is no such thing as a legitimate lottery that will notify you by email; especially when you didn't buy a ticket from them!
