I am just wondering if it is possible to win a lottery without purchasing a lottery ticket.I won such a huge amount of money from a free entry by an unknown person,I am thrilled that some one love me so much to have applied on my behalf.On a serious note I don’t play lottery and I don’t think my email address is so popular that it was entered for a lottery by whatever means.This is a scam and I think that if people have not been falling victim out of their greed to get rich quick without having to work for it,this kind of scam wouldn’t still be in existance.The only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary.This email message is a fake lottery scam. Consider the following facts about real lotteries:

They don’t notify winners by email.
You can’t win without first buying a lottery ticket.
They don’t randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
They don’t use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you.
They don’t tell you to call a mobile phone number.
They don’t tell you to keep your winnings secret.
They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize!
Here is the email:
