This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them. http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscam_Yahoo04.php Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

I think it's a trick, no one gets 1.5 million dollars without doing something, people would kill for that much money so I don't suppose you could just claim it. Also, I received something similiar but it was a Poker Promotion and I "supposedly" won 1 million in british pounds. I didn't trust the email and I deleted it because I never enlisted in a Poker program.
Second of all, don't give them any information, I saw a crime documentary in where a man using fake emails learn the location of girls so he could attack them.
Basically if you don't answer the email and block it from coming again then your fine.
Sorry friend but there is no internet e-mail lottery, it's a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information. www.scambusters-419.co.uk www.truthorfiction.com .Also If you go to the following link you will get some info on ID theft www.identity-theft.org.uk the iinternet is safe enough if you are careful but please answer nothing that you are doubtful about.Good Luck and be careful
Well, as one answerer to the same dumb question said, "Hop on a plane, fly right over there and collect your money." This is the umpteenth one of these today. None of them are valid - they are all spam - and this scam has been running on the internet for YEARS!!!
