Congratulation Once again!
I must acknowledge, even thou I knew It can’t be TRUE; Spontaneously my mind started planning how to spend this money. Even my wife started imaginary packaging bags to go back.
It was that Real. It has nice professional letter with signature & stamp from Board of Director, Attached to it a duplicate copy of lottery ticket with my name printed on it. It was mailed from International address.
But Soon after Googling on the name of Lottery, the Truth came out that It was nicely done SCAM. Beware ! If you get such kind of letter.
