No I get these emails too!
Definitely a scam! The UK lottery is just a twist on the old Nigerian scam letter.
Ask yourself this:
1. Why would you have won a lottery where you never purchased a ticket?
2. What email service did the original email use? Yahoo? Excite? Or something else?
If so, wouldn’t the UK lotto be rich enough to have their own website with its own email domain?
3. Look at the original email. Do you see your name in it? Are the “TO” or “FROM” fields blocked or hidden? Probably because the scammer sends this email out to *T H O U S A N D S * of people.
The UK lotto email is a fake. It’s only good for one thing: deletion.
