this is a hoax and a way to rip you off. do not reply.
Reply:It's nothing but an outright scam. Just mark that message as spam and trash it. People can't just be forced to switch to Y! Mail Beta because of that "hoaxed" message.
Reply:It's a SCAM, and a fake lottery is just one of the many gimmicks the spammers use to get you to open their emails or to give them your personal information. By opening a spam mail, you could either unleash a virus on your computer or simply alert the spammers that your email address is an active one. This means you could receive a flood of spam mail (yes, even more than you get now... a LOT more) in the future. In this case, they are trying to get your personal information. Never NEVER open spam mails.
Reply:it's a scam they want your info..look at who it was sent by some one from hotmail.
