Irish Lottery

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but wondered if anyone could give me some advice, I received an e-mail today to say that I had won in the Irish Lottery and I'm not sure if it's for real, their address shows on the website but it asks for personal details to claim the money; name, address, age, marital status, occuptation, telephone and a copy of my driving licence. What should I do, is this a scam?

If you google the phone number it comes back as a scam as well.
