Ways of identifying a fake lottery email
Unless someone has bought a ticket, one cannot have won a
prize. There are no such things as "email" draws or any other
lottery where "no tickets were sold". This is simply another
invention by the scammer to make the victims believe that they
have won.
The scammer will ask the victims to pay a fee in advance to
receive their prize. All genuine lotteries simply subtract any fees
and tax from the prize. Regardless of what the scammer claims this
fee is for (such as courier charges, bank charges, or various
imaginary certificates), these are all fabricated by the scammer to
obtain money from victims.
Scam lottery emails will nearly always come from free email
accounts such as Outlook, Yahoo!, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Gmail
etc.
