If you've been keeping an eye out, you'll have noticed that Euro Millions Rollover jackpot is getting big again. This Friday it's up to 75 millions Euros again.
(If you're going to play Euro Millions, play in a syndicate as the odds are high - and you'll still get a few million each with a jackpot this big!)

Lottery Winner or Greedy Victim?
"My name is Dora, and i have recieved a letter along with a check stating that I've come in 3rd place in the lottery drawing that took place on 3/17/2006. My reference number is ABDW 10/665RG8 and my winner number is 0087475. On this letter it stated to get in touch with David Rogers of Imperial Financial Management Group. I've made several attempts of trying to reach this person and have been unsuccessful. When I call, I get a voice message that says leave your name and reference number and someone will return your call, but at the end of the call it says no more room for messages. What can I do to claim my winnings from EURO LOTTERY. My home number is 770-xxx-xxxx, please respond by call me or email me at xxx. Thanks"
Is it greed? Is it desperation? Why would anyone believe this is real!
You've not heard of the lottery, you've certainly never bought a ticket - you couldn't have, it doesn't exist.
You get a letter to say you've won - but when did you ever give out your name and address when buying a lottery ticket..?
You've tried to contact them but the cell phone isn't picking up, so you try the yahoo.com email address - real lottery companies are not hard to get hold of! And they certainly don't use free email addresses!
You've banked the cheque but you're not sure how to send the payment to process your claim... WHAT? How can that make any sense at all, why would they send you a cheque, and then ask you for money to process a claim! That's insane. This is where greed really takes over common sense. That cheque is stolen or fake, it will bounce (eventually) leaving you out of pocket. And what lottery would EVER ask you to pay money to receive a prize, that's just so dumb.
These scammers only exist because there are enough people around who are desperate enough or greedy enough to believe their feeble lies. Please don't be one of them.
