Hey! I won the UK National Lottery!

[mcscajun]

Funny thing, though...I got two e-mails like this yesterday. Guess I won twice, huh? :sarcasm:
This doesn't even have the wit of the Nigerian e-mail scams. I bolded the "kicker" line. BTW, they don't want much in the way of personal information, do they?

1. Congrats!

:woohoo:

Isn't it always funny that these 'official' letters are sent from a free email host like [e-mail] or [e-mail]? ;)

[mcscajun]

2. Yup...only the reply-to address is in what I included above.

(That's the ukclaimsagent one.)
I dunno why, but I'm being nice and NOT printing the adelphia.net e-mail address of the sending party. I guess I should send this to Adelphia, though.

3. Wow, Lucky you! I only won 610,000 from the Spanish Lottery a few weeks ago. I kept the letter

so I could have it framed with the check when I get it. :D

[mcscajun]

4. Huh! The Spanish Lottery: Pikers!

:rofl:
