As a result of this, his/her friends might try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Msn/Yahoo lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

I read the whole remarks of the people and the responses given from the company. I am not satisfy from these remarks. Every body is asking to confirm that is it fake or true but there is no proper answer for this. I tried to call on the given no of Barrister David Singer but system does'nt recognize that no. I send an email to his email address. that email bounced and the written text lost from the email. My received email (Lotery Winning) for which I was going to claim is also delted from my account automatically. I thing its fake or some thing wrong.

Hope it will be resolve soon becuase the big name of companies are involved.

Thanks
