if you get an email saying that you won the UK lottery but you have to send money to get the funds IT IS A SCAM; PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE BELOW THAT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE UK LOTTERY WEBSITE REGARD LOTTERY TICKETS: YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND MONEY BY DOING SO.


It should be noted here that the only legal place to buy UK lottery tickets (and, yes, you have to buy them - there is no such thing as a "free UK lottery sweepstake" in existence) on the Internet is at the official UK lottery site located at http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/ and even then you need a UK address and a UK debit card. Any other site that says it sells UK lottery tickets is breaking the law. If you have not bought your ticket from either an official UK lottery physical terminal (e.g. in a UK newsagent, UK supermarket etc.) or from the official site mentioned above, then you *cannot* win a UK lottery prize.
