Since I received this letter from Euromillones, I made some researches about scams... In fact it was my first but there is not only the Italian Lottery which is used: the british one too. It’s worth noting that there is really a UK national lottery. The National lottery does not run an email campaign at all. As usually in SCAM, you will be asked for a series of charges to get the prize in cash or details of your bank account and it will never arrive! This is a scam so ignore it. Here a copy of this mail:
