  1. The only real lotteries are those that you pay for and get a ticket from the store. All online lotteries are just looking for idiots that give bank details and e-mail addresses for junk mail. And believe me there are alot of idiots that fall for this


  2. no!

    it's a scam

  3. No, there are not.  To win the UK Lottery you have to purchase a ticket in the UK from an official UK Lottery distributor.  Then you have to check your numbers, and get very lucky.

    Think about it.  Last time you purchased a lottery ticket, did the clerk ask you for your email address?

    Last time you saw a news item about Mega Millions or Powerballl, did you ever hear that the winner had been randomly chosen via their email address?

    When was the last time you heard of someone who won a lottery prize, having never participated?

    Fact is, no legitimate lottery in the world is going to give money away for free, because all it would do is p**s off everyone who had actually paid for tickets.  How would you feel if you bought a Powerball ticket, and next week you heard that the prize had been awarded to some guy in Luxembourg who had never paid to play?  Well British people would be equally annoyed, and that is why it doesn't happen.

  4. NO it is a scam to get YOUR money

    Yahoo and the rest DOES NOT run a lottery

  5. scammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  6. Nope, it's a scam. If you didn't buy a ticket, why would you win. Also, note the horrible spelling in the email.

  7. Yes, and all you have to do is give them all of your bank details, and you will win the loss of all of your money.

    These are scams, often originating from Nigeria, fact is, you can't win something you haven't entered, and why would they need your bank details, if they was legit, they would send you a cheque.

    Many now also ask for your PayPal details too, do not give them these either.

    Don't reply to the emails, or even check an "unsubscribe" link, as these more often than not merely confirm that your email account is active, and will be sent more of this mail, just add the email address to your BLOCKED list.

  8. No, they are trying to phish for your information and if you respond to these emails they then class your email as active and sell this on to other parties to spam you.

  9. are there really people dumb enough to  believe it,,

  10. No....

  11. No. You have no doubt received one of the numerous scam e-mails that are sent out every day. Delete it and ignore it.

  12. Yes the UK Lottery provides this service.You must set up an account providing your e-mail address and bank details.You can then pay for your tickets in advance and they will notify when you need to renew your entry.

  13. You don't get anything for nothing, , it's a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information
