First question is, have you bought a ticket? :rolleyes: If not, it's a scam.

If you have bought a ticket, go to the UK NAtioanl Lottery website (NOT the link in the email) and check your numbers to see if you're a winner.

You cannot win.

Rule # 1... You must be a UK resident.

Sorry. :(

darn right it's a scam.

I keep getting emails from "lottery administrator" from several countries (growing by the week!) saying I've won millions.

If only.....
