Official FBI Information For You.

This is a mix of a recovery scam and basic advanced fee fraud. The real FBI’s jurisdiction is limited to the USA. They would not be commenting upon a foreign lottery.
In order to have any chance of winning a lottery a person must first purchase a ticket. Any genuine lottery would not charge fees to remit the winning funds to the winner.

Note: My comments are in red.
