More than likely not.  Did you enter into any lottery?  It's a scam, stay away from it.

ITs a fraud, fraud, fraud..\n\nThe following emails are fraud :\n1. you have won a lottery you never entered.\n2. Asking your help to transfer money locked up in some bank to another bank, using your account as an intermediatary.\n3. that someone has died leaving behind lots of money with no legal claimaint, which you can claim with the sender's help.\n4. that sender has bags full of orginal dollars, which have been spoiled with a dark stain. These stains can be removed by a certain chemical only available with the sender. The sender will sell you the dollars and the special chemical at a very low price. \n\nif you get emails similar to the ones above, 99.9% of the times they will be fraud's. A lot of people have lost huge amounts in such fraud. A majority of these frauds are based in Nigeria.

It varies depending on the company holding the contest.\nI've entered dozens of online contests and won a number of small things (make up, an address book, CDs, autographed books from an author, a food coupon for Sonic).  I have received all those things, so my experience was positive.  \nDo you recognize the name of the company offering the prize?\nDid you enter their contest?  If not, and you received an unsolicited promise of something, it's probably not legit.

Never heard of them. If you got an email requesting personal details then delete the mail, its a very common scam. You haven't won anything and your long lost dead relative didn't leave you lots of money!!

You are attacked by fraud people.They  stole your identification like name, address,bank account number and more.It may be from lottery company as they pretend or related to property.They ask for Notary fees which they have to pay to authority to transfer the part of money to your account.I received similar mail from Nigeria.They use yahoo id, which does not go to bulk folder usually. So you can report to spam by clicking on'spam' in inbox.

There is no "American Lottery."  Any email you get about anything like that is a scam.  In America, various states have lotteries, but there is no "American Lottery."\n\n"A lottery is nothing but a tax on the mathematically challenged." --Anonymous

NO. NO. NO.\nThere's NO one of it. Believe me.\nYou will recieve many SCAMMING e-mail answering your question. You will lose your money much more than any information you will get. Internet is simply 99.99% SCAM.\nIf there is, many millions people just like you will go there and it's already well known by now. But you're still looking for it just like the other. It means: NO, THERE IS NO SITE LIKE THAT... EVER. BOTH GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE.\nNever believe it.\n\nLook at this people answering you. They invite you to some special site or e-mail in secret. Why just don't answer here and help many people like you?\nIt's going to scam you. BEWARE !\n\nI've warned you for your good. Good luck anyway.

most of the on line lotteries are fraud.they collect all ur personal information regarding ur email and ur credit cards and dupe you.unless a web site is secured,one should not fall prey to them.in this present case it is better to ignore their communication.my advice to you is to take cautious steps while participating on line lotteries.but some lotteries are genuine.one business man won more than one crore inonline lotteries.but of course he bought the ticket by paying amount.

Its a Pyramid scam, only the first few make any money, all the others lose, by the time you get to the upper levels there are not enough people on earth to email.\nSteer clear!!!

It is probably a scam.  DON'T give out any bank information.  DON'T pay anyone anything to get a "prize".  You can contact the people who notified you to investigate further, but BE VERY CAREFUL.  People use things like this to cheat people out of their hard-earned money.

I couldn't find anything on it.\n\nIf you seriously won a large sum of money, your notification wouldn't come by e-mail.

If you haven't played a lotto then I would say it is some kind of fraud. If they ask you to call them, especially if they charge a premium rate then I would definitely think it is a fraud.
