Anyway, complaint headquarters. Of about 4 or five total emails from UK Lottery Board, a few really do look legitimate. I'm sure tomorrow to make entirely sure I won't be losing out on what would make me, a homeless person with not enough to pay the shipping charges for 3 million pounds British sterling anyway... Well, tomorrow I'm sure I'll be trying to see if the telephone numbers to the real UK Lottery Board are the same as mentioned in these emails. To that end, won't you respond if you can quickly...
