Did you buy a lottery ticket?

Answer 2

Yahoo and MSN do no longer run a lottery and you probably did no longer enter the competition so which you would be able to no longer win what you probably did no longer enter in case you ever acquire this sort of digital mail then mark it as a phishing scam and it will get sent to Microsoft or Yahoo reckoning on the place you gained the digital mail.

Answer 3

IT'S A SCAM



You have to give them a credit card number to get sent anything, and end up getting a few cents not the huge prizes they claim.



They tried it on me and I did some research on them

Answer 4

This is an advertising scam. All they are trying to get is information from you. Your time would be better spent and you chances of winning money would be greater if you went to the store and purchased a real lottery ticket.



Peace
