Well as you probably suspect..... And I do too.... It must be a scam. If I were you I would send it on to the real lottery people and ask what they think of it.... See Below... I've received an email from The National Lottery - is it genuine? General enquiries and assistance help@national-lottery.co.uk Unhappy about our service? complaints@national-lottery.co.uk Please note email is not a secure medium and due to the nature of the Internet, the company cannot guarantee the receipt of emails or response to emails.

The email seems to have originated in Spain, claims to have come from Dianne Thompson but wants you to reply to someone called philherald007 at a hotmail address. All it's short of is a Nigerian bank account for you to deposit an administration fee into.
