Answer 1

This is great. I am in South East Asia and this year due to some really fantastic good fortune I have won at least 10 times in the British National lottery / Sweepstakes....all in the second category and each draw paying at least British sterling 250,000.00.  In another two draws I "won" Euro  2.5,000,000.00. Therefore my total winnings are in excess of 2 billion pounds sterling. By all standards I have amassed a tremendous fortune, enough to save  the Sumatran Rhino and the highland gorilla from total extinction and take care of my family for the next 500 years.

Of course , all these are scams. After you have given all particulars they will ask for a down payment of about 3K sterling being processing fees. I fell for the first , smelt something fishy and reported to your Scotland yard. I was advised very well indeed.

I can only suggest that nobody should gamble on-line.
