When you read this thing, you should have alarm bells going off all over the place. NO ONE SIMPLY GIVES AWAY MONEY! If you win a lottery you don't remember entering, that should be a major red flag.
Second, look at the email addresses provided. One is a ttu.edu address. That domain belongs to Texas Tech University. If you think a British lottery is going to send out notifications through Texas Tech, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you in Brooklyn.
The other address isn't any better. Live.com is a free email provider. Never trust anything coming to you from a free provider, unless you personally know the person behind the address. This includes things like gmail and yahoo, too. Anyone can simply sign up for an account, and say they are whoever they like. Unless you know the person behind the screenname, don't trust it!
Lesson is, don't be stupid. If its too good to be true, it probably is.
