thats just what i thought ?
 
It was the 1st page I came across that showed it was prob a scam, and on further Googling it definately does appear to be a scam. Am going to check out Karens link now.
 
Get this emails all the time and they go straight to the rubbish bin! Even get ones from a spanish lottery saying I have won millions - but have to ring a claim number! I'm not even subscribed to any!
 
I do the lotto online and have never recieved anything like this. I'd stear well clear if it were me.
 
Never ever ever trust an e-mail from anywhere that you are not strictly familiar with - basic laws of the internet.
