First of all. There is no ”E-mail address ballot lottery international program” with the UK National Lottery. And we’ve been through this so many times on this site, that it feels as if I’m repeating myself. The below e-mail is a scam. An attempt by fraudsters to cheat me, and whowever else got it, on their money. It has all the markings of a lottery scam. It’s sent from one e-mail address (that resolves to a Virgin free e-mail service), it has a free-for-all yahoo.de reply-to-address. It is sent out to a hidden mailing list and it is actually quite funny that it is originated from an IP address routed to Denver? Wasn’t The Camelot Group supposted to be situated in Liverpool?
However. Don’t believe a word of this garbage. It is nothing but a scam.
