Have you ever played the Spanish Lottery ?

If not, pretty sure it's a dud :)

That is actually what I picked up on. In all the years I went to Spain. I never played the (Spanish) lottery.

Which is why I posted up as a possible Scam.

Yep it's scam. Spanish lottery doesn't ever email anyone, it works only on physical tickets which you hand in at one of their outlets to claim any prize.

since 2006 ( I think ! )
Apart from anything else, no lottery system anywhere in the world requires your details to buy a ticket.. And certainly not your e-mail address !!

Last time I had one like this I was in a playful mood and first off asked them to conform the numbers..
Then said I was in Turkey and would need to find a secure wifi to send them the details..
The mails went back and forth for a few days before I got bored
