It’s Obviously a Scam
A cite some paragraphs in the discussion about Microsoft Lottery programs online in Answers.Microsoft.com. This answer is from Jack, Support Engineer.
Hello Gods Favorite,
Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum. Just to expand on Mick’s answer, Microsoft DOES NOT have any sort of an online lottery. This is an obvious phishing scam. If you could reply with the header information from the email along with the info in the body of the email it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jack
