Is this a scam? I received this email. It's different from the others mentioned in this thread. Having read a few of he other threads, I am confused by what some have said: send these people money and it'll be ok. I think they were being ironic, but am not sure!

Anyway, here's the email I ws sent incase anyone else gets confused like me:

This is obviously a scam. Just Google 'BRITISH CHARITIES LOTTERY PROMOTIONS UNITED KINGDOM' and see what comes up. You are not alone. These are very common, and all work on variations of the same theme. The hotmail address should have alerted you as well. I've lost count of the amount of these I've seen over the years. Just delete it, and don't worry about it.

This was the first result (they've even got the same ticket number as you).
