Nope but I guarantee it’s a scam of some sort as the National Lottery just don’t do anything like that, and even if you had entered online and they did send you an email to let you know you’d won something then they would tell you to log into your online account and certainly wouldn’t want to know all your personal details. It’s spam – junk it!

Yeah, that’s Lyndon Johnson’s daughter, Lucy! Duuuh!
Of course we’ve received mail just like this. You didn’t enter a lottery? Neither did I, but I received the same thing, so I guess we both won. Wonder how that happened?!?!? I really don’t think I’ll hold my breath until I get rich.

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet and how to report them :
Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
