This site is totally corrupt. They will ask you to pay money in order to get your "winnings". Once you contact them, they will never let you go, flooding your inbox with garbage daily. Since you never entered a lottery, you cannot claim to have won. There will be one number you have to enter in their claim form - the number of the lottery you didn't enter!!!

Oh you shouldn't go for it they are scams only. After you reply them they are going to ask for your bank details and so on. Internet is filled with such scam mails you should only drive them to your junk folder!

That came to me too a couple of times. But, I didn't join, and don't pay any attention any more. Just delete the message. It is a mazing how some people do these kinds of business online. There are many similar things online too, and one needs to be very careful
