Lotto Scam

Here's what appears to be a Lottery Scam which claims we've won over $780,000 dollars from a lottery which promotes money transfers. All you have to do is contact the claims department. This one was sent in by veronika.belicova@gmail.com. The funny thing about this one is they misspelled the title which reads: "EURO MILLIONS END OF YEAR PROMTION". You would think such a reputable lottery would know how to spell promotion.
