To claim your winning prize, you must first contact

I got this from an email that was sent to me.

No this is definitely a scam. It has all of the signs of a scam. There is no Euro Millions Lottery or any other form of lottery you can win without buying a ticket. There exists a certain form of immoral degenerate that trolls the internet searching for suckers who believe that they have gotten very lucky and won a lottery which they have never entered. They will probably entice you to send an advance fee to claim your non-existant winnings and if you do send this money, you can kiss it goodbye. The money will likely be en-route to Nigeria, a cesspool of fraud that has been the center of these types of fraud over the last few decades. The best thing to do is to delete such emails immediately and to never reply to them. In some cases, people who travel to claim their winnings are taken hostage, and in worse-case scenarios are killed when whoever is paying ransom payments exhausts their money supply. If anything online sounds to good to be true it always is buddy. But this is simply advance fee fraud (a prevalent type of fraud which continously asks for money to cover unforseen expenses) and is intended to drain your bank account, promising money that simply does not exist. Hopefully, this answers your question.

If you have any more questions, do a yahoo search on lottery scams, nigeria 419 scams, internet fraud, or advance fee fraud.

You're right, it's a scam. Just discard & ignore it.

SCAM, report it to www.ic3.com the internet fraud complain site. They can tell you or investigate it.

If they ask for ANY money, that means it's a SCAM.

If there is no money in your bank account right now, it's a scam.

When you win something, you don't have to "contact" anyone to claim it. If they know that much about you, a certified check with good and marketable funds should appear at your door, made payable to you, any second...

Yep........sounds like a scam to me.

Throw it out, or you'll be sorry!

of course it's a scam
and you do not think otherwise?
if you can't tell then you are in for a lifetime of getting taken advatange of
