Juz imagine.. if you haven't done anything why wud sumone make u or choose u as a winner.. ! At least u shud buy a ticket to have a chance of getting won rite??.. Its pakka fraud...

There is a way if you still wanna try...(better not to) ..Once u contact them thru mail , they'll ask u to pay sum amount thru DD or so and then come to US to receive the won amount. then try mailin them again that u can take the necessary amt fro the won amount adn then send the rest amt to you ...
