Answer 2

Nope, it's a scam, ignore it, they'll ask for bank details etc so they can "transfer your money into your account" when in fact they are going to withdraw all your money and leave you with nothing.

You didn't buy a ticket for this lottery so why would you have won anything? If it seems to good to be true, IT IS!

Don't fall for any emails like this, even if they pretend to be banks, they are just scams.
