On 29 May 06 I got a very interesting
mail which I have
never dreamt of. However, I thought, at least it has happen
not in the dream! And another reason why it was so
important is that it came at a time when
money was in the
first
line of my agenda points. Yes you are correct, it was
a rare opportunity to win a
lottery! that too, in a huge
amount without purchasing a ticket. A total sum of
£1,000,000 (one million pounds sterling) from UK NATIONAL
LOTTERY had been announced against my e-mail ID and I was
thereby intimated. Without knowing what to do I responded

existence of any site on the company. This time I got the
name ‘www.lottery.co.uk’ which seems to be the same company
(though still I am not sure about the linking). This
googled out was not encouraging at all. I lost all the
interest and this time I told everything to my wife (as
there was little fear). The
subject web site is related to
the online lottery, of course, but has warning displayed
about the above misadventures correspondence. The whole
picture is yet to be clarified but one thing is clear that
the on line lottery can now be played with the above web
site (by spending the due amount). So thanks the subject e-
mail, for it teaches me a lot! Now with the shown way I can
dream for the …..
