Sorry friend but there is no Microsoft, Yahoo or other e-mail lottery, it's a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information
http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeri...
http://www.thescambaiter.com/forum/showt...
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/email-lottery...
.Also If you go to the following site you will get some info on ID theft www.identity-theft.org.uk the iinternet is safe enough if you are careful but please answer nothing that you are doubtful about.Good Luck and be careful

Well, the address is genuine - it is the HQ of Camelot who run the Natioanl Lottery

Unfortunately, the email is fake - I bet you haven't apid anything for a ticket so how can you have possibly won anything?!

Just delete the e-mail, it's a scam. You have not won anything. If you actually answered the e-mail they would send you another probably stating something to the effect that they will send you your winnings after you send them a check for covering something or other.
Dateline NBC has done quite a few stories on this very subject and about e-mails just like this one. Here's the link to their website and the information about their investigations about the scam's.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17713446/

This is obviously a scam.
Firstly their using a hotmail address rather than a lottery address.
Secondly the lottery pots are never round numbers.
Thirdly you there's no such thing as random email selection lotteries.
