I am guessing that you have received an email informing you that you have won a vast amount of cash on a lottery which you haven't entered. If so, then this is a SCAM. Check out the below links for confirmation of several email scams doing the rounds at the moment, as well as instructions on how to report these scams, including the famous Yahoo lottery email scam.

Is the U,K,National lottery company a legitament and reputible co.to do business with transactions whatever?
If you refer to an email you received telling you that you have won $$$ then the answer is NO, every email of that kind is a scam - do NOT reply but delete it immediately.
Reply:That depends on what you mean by doing business. If you have received aletter or e-mail telling you that you have won a lottery prize in a lottery that you did not enter, it is a scam. Lotteries invilve buying a ticket, or tickets and having a randomly selected winning match. Don't send money overseas or respond to any spam e-mails that tell you that you have "won" something that you did not enter.
Reply:The company operating the UK national lottery is working under a license. The license is issued by goverement and National Lottery Commission during a lenghty competitive tendering process - This organisation is currently called :
Camelot Group plc.
They must follow the rules and regulations as issued by the parliment and National Lottery Commission.
The Camelot Group is a plc. therefore it must follow the rules, ethics and terms of business of a public listed company. this also includes posting there annual reports and accounts to the goverment body of companie house. By paying a small fee to companie house you can view there annual reports/accounts to undertake a reference check.
I belive Camelot Group is a plc is a legitimate and reputible company to do business with.
all links to the above organisations listed below.
I suspect you have received spam email asking for your bank details to undertake a "winning ticket" transaction. You would be very dumb and stupid to do this. Please do not do this.
Should you wish to contact the organisations directly, use the links below.
Reply:The real one Camelot is legit, but there are many scams based on similar sounding ones. The real one is easy to spot because you bought a ticket from them.
Reply:Does not exist..These are Nigerians trying to scam you. BEWARE.
