I supposedly won £5.5 million last month via email from the microsoft mega jackpot lottery in the UK. They are "sponsored" by microsoft, intel group, dell, mckintosh, to promote internet usage. Their email address was from yahoo and the UK address was fake. Have had a whole host of these emails: i've either won money or someone has died and they need help administering the money with my help. All emails are presented EXACTLY the same.

Promote internet usage? Lol.

whatever about being a scam, it's a bloody ripoff. €64 for 2 games in 8 draws when the real Lotto is only €24 for the same.

It turned out not to be a scam my brother got a refund when he requested it a couple of hours after placing his order

A friend of mine in the States got an e-mail a couple of weeks ago telling him he'd just won €2.5m in the Irish Lotto. For some strange reason he had to send his claim to Amsterdam.
