Answer 1

If you have 'won' and yet did not buy a ticket, then of course it is a fraud.

Ignore their emails and NEVER send them any information about yourself.

Anyone who wins on the real Irish lottery has to contact the lottery offices, the offices do not contact winners.

Answer 2

there is a proper irish lottery, you have to buy the tickets in the bookies though rather than the newsagents, anything over the internets a scam though

Answer 3

It's definitely a scam.  With the Irish lottery you have to buy a ticket from an authorised agent (usually a shop) and prizes can only be claimed from either

a) a lottery agent for small prizes

b) a post office for all but the main prizes and

c) the lottery headquarters for all main prizes.

You can only claim prizes in person and with the winning ticket in hand.

It's over €2 million tonight!!!!

Answer 4

There is a real Irish lottery - it's more like gambling than the UK lottery.  

So you have to buy your tickets in a bookmakers/betting shop, or you can enter at some online sites - the sites will be UK 'bookies'.

If you mean you've just had a email saying you've won money (out of the blue), it's a scam.  Don't click on any links in it and delete.

Answer 12

It's a scam.  They tell you that you have won money and they have you deposit the check into your account,  They get your bank information and steal the money you put in there and anything else you have.  These lotteries are popping up everywhere.  Don't do anything!
