An example of a US lottery which was sent to several dozen people at once. It also features the classic signs of a scam; no entry needed, the request for confidentiality, and a Yahoo contact email for someone who is supposedly a barrister and the "fiducially" agent for a lottery supposedly run by multinational "conglomorates".
