international lottery

August 16, 2006 1:06pm CST
Is it true that you can win an intrenational lottery. i recived a letter last week that I had won 678,000.00 from Maded, spain. but when I called about they said I had to send 1860.00 by money gram to some other man that is getting the checks out and they would transfer my money to my bank. after I recived my money I was to send them61,000.00 for entering mein the lottery. they said that they only took 17 out of 25000 enteries. This was out of 10 million dollars jackpot. Like a fool I gave them my routing no. and account no. Istarted to send the money but had 2nd thoughts. I asked them to send me a certified letter to give my bank so I could make arrangements for the money. But then they gave me an excuse that they couldn't because everything had to be conferdental.

I receive at least 2 every month. If they were real, I'd have been wealthier than Bill Gates by now...

If you didn't enter it,how do they know you? Any legitimate lottery says,"You gotta be in it to win it".

i got one of those too, but it was about a prince in nigeria or something who had to transfer his money out of the country... 40 million... I would have to pay 3000 USD to have the money transferred and I'd get 10 million out of the transaction... do you really think I sent the money? ahuauhauhuahuahuahua
