nairalanders pls i need ur opinions. i got a mail in my box telling me there is a UK national lottery that i won but was asked to pay for for the delivery services on how i will redeem my prize. pls is there anything like UK ONLINE NATIONAL LOTTERY? is it real? pls i need ur opinions

Yep Hon.  big scam.  the Uk national lottery website is:  www.national-lottery.co.uk

you can play online or by text message or direct debit/standing order. 

if you win they will definitely notify you (except if you bought a paper ticket)   

I you played online or as i mentioned above, they will pay up to £5000.00 directly into your account.  Anything above £5000.00, will require you to contact them for security reasons  (but they will inform you if you've won).

Under no circumstance will they ask you to pay "for delivery" especially when you have not bought a ticket.  my dear as a nigerian know when people are trying to 419 you. please see these links:

You can play, but if you win you must be at least 16years old and a UK resident before you can claim your price.

Fellow dis is nothing but a scam. I got something of this nature sometimes ago, but when i ask them why i should pay to get my prize they they never replied since then. shine ue eyes

All of the gay, homosexual, retard, scum 419 Nigerian scammers operating the lottery scams out of Madrid, Amsterdam and London ask for money to be paid to obtain your winnings.

There is not one real lottery in the World where you have to pay to receive your prize.

You have been warned!
