Nope...... It is most definatly a scam......

Disreguard it totaly.


Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

You have to pay at least £1 to enter the UK National Lottery. If everyone could enter by email address alone, there would be no jackpot.

A real National Lottery email address would be: something@national-lottery.co.uk

These emails often also include phone numbers. Any UK number beginning +44 7 or 07 is a mobile phone, and no legitimate organisation would conduct business over a mobile phone.

And, most importantly of all, the real National Lottery does not send unsolicited emails. It's illegal in the UK, unless you have dealt with the company before.
