Emails listed here are examples of Google Lottery Scam emails. There is NO such thing as the Google Lottery, and lotteries do not randomly choose winners based on email addresses. Any email or text you have received claiming that you have won a Google lottery is a scam.
Google has information on their website verifying that they are NOT the sender of these messages and these messages are indeed FRAUD. Please see this Google support topic, on which Google themselves state: "Google doesn't run lotteries, and your email address hasn't been selected to win a prize. Do not reply back with your personal details."
