Everyday thousands of people receive emails telling them they have won a prize. Many claim that the reader has won a prize from some lottery. Sometime it's a name of a fake charity "The Loving Life Lottery" or more often there is reference to a real lottery game as a "Hot Lotto" or "Powerball". These criminals even add links to the winning numbers on site like AllLotto.com

Don't Fall for a Lotto Scam
Everyday thousands of people receive emails telling them they have won a prize. Many claim that the reader has won a prize from some lottery. Sometime it's a name of a fake charity "The Loving Life Lottery" or more often there is reference to a real lottery game as a "Hot Lotto" or "Powerball". These criminals even add links to the winning numbers on site like AllLotto.com
to help confuse the reader that AllLotto is not only sending the email, but is responsible for your winning. Unfortunately, none of what you read in that email is true, there is no lottery, there are no prizes and most importantly there is never any cost for cashing in a real lottery prize.
If someone asks you to pay for a prize, it is not a prize, it's a scam and don't give them your money.
Let's be realistic here: How did you win a prize in a Lottery which you did not enter? How did the state lottery, which sells tickets, anonymously via convenience and grocery stores find your email? But most importantly, how is it that the lottery is expecting you to pay to get your prize? Taxes are taken out from the prize, not paid before the prize is awarded.
If you get a letter like this, it's a SCAM - don't answer!

About the Powerball Lottery
Powerball has been running since 1992, following the re-branding of Lotto*America. The first ever draw of Powerball was held on April 22, 1992. Since then, the Powerball lottery has expanded rapidly and is now sold in 44 states and has a minimum jackpot of $20 million.
Draws are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10.59 p.m. (EST) and there are five winning numbers drawn from a pool of 59 balls, as well as one extra ball called the Powerball. If you're lucky enough to match five numbers and the Powerball, then you'll hit the jackpot, just like the many winners over the years. Be sure to visit this page after the latest draw for the most recent Powerball lottery results, to find out if you're one of those lucky people.
One funny story concerning the Powerball draw came in March, 2005 when 110 players matched all had five winning numbers, minus the Powerball (22, 28, 32, 33 and 39). The Powerball lottery officials, who were understandably suspicious, paid out nearly $20 million. It soon came to light that a biscuit company from New York named Wonton Food had printed six numbers to go in their fortune cookies and these numbers really had proved to be lucky, as they were the five Powerball numbers, minus the Powerball! Unfortunately for the 110 players, they were just two off the Powerball number of 42, as the number 40 had been predicted in the fortune cookies.
Winning Powerball numbers can be claimed for up to a year after the draw date, but this can vary, depending on which state the lottery ticket was bought in. The revenue created by Powerball tickets is used by each state in whichever way that they choose, with education sectors often benefiting from the profits.
