european lottery commission

hi, i got a phone call on my mobile yest while driving, the number was showing as "unknown" as my house is, so i pulled into answer, it was a guy, with really bad broken english, saying he was from the european lottery commission, wanting to enter me into a draw for £3500 (a small amount for a lottery, no??) i just hung up, im guessing its a scam, :confused:
