Is it a real lottery?

[rafferty-1875]

isnt today the 23?

[DeadBolt]

You're retarted aren't you?

[soulblud]

I got something like that about 5 months ago. You are the winner of the Irish lottery! My ass

[Mechabloby]

Go for it!
Give in all your details and cal and see what you get!

[Incognitus]

It's just some Nigerian trying to steal your money.

[Unclever-Overused]

Well the chance of it being BS are pretty high, but they arent asking for any terribly improtant info.

But if it was was me, it would just be more scrap for the trash bin.

[Chief-717]

I'd call the number first, but seeing the email, I think it's a fake

Oh, and did you actually partcipate in the lottery?

[Death-Affiliate]

You should definitely go for it.

[HeartbreakHoldout]

You can't win something you didn't participate in. If you'd entered your email into the Irish Lottery, then I'd say go for it. But since I doubt you did, I'd say you should stop being so greedy and realise how much of a scam that is.

[Reserved-Username]

If you know this is a scam, then whats the point of this thread?

[Archkronos]

They wouldn't use an @yahoo.co.uk address.

Edn.

That's pretty much the most obvious way to tell a scam from the real thing. A lot of contests contact by email, but they will always have a email address, the name of someone you could contact, and an air of officiality.

If you have to ask this question, then I'm going to say no under two assumptions.

1) You never signed up for it, therefor you never got a ticket and it's impossible to win. How can anyone afforde to pay out if they never get anyone to buy anything in order to raise the money?

2) You probably would have heard about a lottery that gives out this much money on the news or seen it's advertisements in magazines or billboards. Since you haven't, it's probably a scam.

[2wiceBorn]

Surely the Irish lottery would be in Euros, rather than Sterling?

[Killers123]

I deleted the email, so threads over.

And a website if they were an internet lottery.

For a moment there, you almost looked stupid.

Almost.

[Dromedary]

Yay.
You won.
Bull shit.

[The-Red-Jack]

Ask Jesus ! He knows everything!

[Unclemonty23]

I got one from Prince Nakinakibooba of a small island not located on any map...

[WindsurfingNation]

I say go for it.

the simple rule of thumb is;

IF YOU DIDNT APPLY YOU DIDNT WIN IT IS A SCAM

dont reply to scam emails, especially dont click on them and the links in them. delete and block user, and dont even question 'what if' because it is 100% a scam e/mail if you won something that you did not apply for.

[banchy44]

FAKE.

Do you even know that is a scam or just plain bullship spam?
Do YOU even know the basic rules of browsing the internet?

Apparently you do not know the basic rules of browsing the internet.

The thread does not just end because somebody with no authority says so.
