No. If you reply they will ask you for a processing fee, or government tax, or some such. If you send them money you will never see your "Winnings".\n\nMy e-mail address has been public for 7 years. I'm on lots of spam lists. I get 2 - 4 "You have won" e-mail messages a day.

Hi I have just received an e-mail today from Scoop Lotto\nstating that an e-mail address drawing was done and that \nI have won a large amount of money. No they did not ask for a bank account I have not answered them yet and I also have been searching for the company My gut feeling is that it is a scam.

it's a trick!! i get those emails all the time from freelotto!!!  you should NEVER give anyone your personal info or bank info. Sorry but all you won is the opportunity to be ripped off.

I searched and came up with nothing. How can they PROMISE you you'll win? Is there an address or phone number? I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't even in the US. My wife enters tons of sweepstakes but she contacts them. They don't come to her.

Over the past 3 weeks I have received roughly 3000 mails asking for help to move millions.\nAfrica does not have as much money to pay the % I have been offered in the last 6 months!\ndo an internet search for "419"\nEducate yourself and do not get caught ;)

I'm THE most successful sweepstakes winner in the United States, and probably the world\n\nTrust me when I tell you this is a scam.  "Activation fees" are a sure sign it's a rip-off.  I've entered over 400,000 sweepstakes in nine years, and I'd never heard of Prize America until you posted this question.

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 are asking if you have won an international lottery or some other prize you received in an email, the answer is NO.\n\nIf you didn't enter a lottery, or a contest, then you did not win one.\n\nDo not reply to the sender and do not send them any personal or banking information
