hi all,
There was a report last month, the poor lady did all the right things to be sure it was for real ..calls, reseach, call the banks, before she sent any money .Because the letter from the lottery place was out side the USA she had to pay taxes and tranfer fees,so she did rip was rip off 8000.00 by time they were done with her.... it's a Big Scam to make the news beware my friends.
best wish

Raymond,
We all want to win something but most of these sites are scams.
It is so easy on the internet to get mislead by some ad, or some "guru".
Before you jump on anything, check it out first. Ask questions of your mentors and associates. It can save you a huge headache later.

Hi Raymond,
Never ever give any information to these people it is a pure scam.
You will find that they will now ask you to make a payment so that they can process your "ALLEDGED" winnings.
If you make that payment kiss good by to your money because you will never see it again.
You have also confirmed for them that they have an active email address and they will now sell your email address to anyone stupid enough to buy it as well as all the spammers that are out there.
My best advic

I want to add to the last comment by streeta. Many of these type e-lottos are scams designed to get more specific personal info or financial info from you in order to steal one or all parts of your identity. Since you say this is a Yahoo/Microsoft lotto winner have you actually contacted Microsoft or Yahoo, not at the address provided by those claiming you have won but through a Microsoft licensed dealer. They should be able to give you the correct contact information. Hackers and ID thieves

I don't know much about these guys, but You need to consider how they got your email address in the first place. I don't know if you already have, but you shouldn't sent out your personal info onthe internet, a lot of these things are scams. Be careful.
