This is a forum and we are all volunteers.
Please do not expect answers in minutes.

That said, Euromillions costs money to enter and you have to check your numbers yourself. They do not contact you!
In other words, you cannot win a lottery that you have not entered.

The email you received is a scam!

Hi Ryo, and welcome.

If the instructions you have followed are to send the scammer your basic info and a scan of your ID, you should be perfectly safe by just stopping all contact. Do not confront the scammer, just ignore him. Most scammers aren't interested in ID theft and most of the information that was asked for is that which is publically found anyway, such as name and address.
As for your ID scan, there is a slight risk that the scammer will re-use it for his scams, but the risk is minimal. Scammers routinely copy tons of images and IDs found online and use all fake info for their scams so the risk of a scammer using yours is slim, as he likely already has access to lots of them.
If your ID contained information that is not publically available, such as social security number, you may want to read up on how to protect yourself from ID theft as a precaution. The US has a website on this here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/
The site includes what to do if your information has possibly been compromised but you're not certain it has been used.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492
