Nothing in life is free, babe. That’s lesson number 1.
Lesson number 2 will cost you…

Your instincts are right. It’s a scam. You never entered, did you? Ya gotta enter to win.

First of all “spell check”.
Secondly there is nothing that the US government can or will do to help you. You need to change your phone number this minute! Those phone calls are probably being reverse charged to your number. If you have given them any info about your bank account, change that too. All of those “you’ve hit a lottery in a foreign country” e-mails, or snail-mails, are scams.
Good luck.
