    It's very strange and I got it a few months ago. It's titled this:

    Your e-mail attached to ticket number 219028657434 with Serial number 918735625 drew the lucky numbers of 21-70-81-82-99, which consequently won the lottery in the 1st category. You have just won yourself the sum of One Million EURO in the satellite softw‏-
    Then it cut off.

    It says that the sender is Dr. maria Anthony. I've never opened it because I think it's fake. I'm only 13 years old and I don't remember entering a lottery drawing!

    So is this fake?

    I don't bother reading those e-mails because they might just be a scam

    I had an email from someone in India claiming I had one the Indian lottery.

    I had won something like 167 Milliam pounds...

    I looked at the email address. [email protected]

    Damn... They could atleast get a believeable e-mail address...

    I just replied to it, basically using a lot of curses, and telling them my mind.

    They've never replied since. =D

    I don't know why, but I just love to see what the scammers come up with next. I've even seen some saying that people like Fidel Castro (oh come on) have died and left money for you.
