    Did i win 1.5 million or is someone messing with my head?

    Just got a letter from langley,bc from the lotto max association in canada and it says i won 1.5 million in lotto i called them and the rep said i really won. I told then dont **** with my head because i dont believe it. He asked me if i wanted lump sum or in payments..i said send me a cashiers check to me and i will pay any taxes or fees, then i will believe you

    what do you guys think? Could this be for real or a big scam never gave them important private information

    Congratz if you really won it!! BUT keep in mind, when buying how did they get your number? In Ontario we just buy the tickets and are responsible for claiming if we won. No notifications so be careful, wouldn't want it to be a prank caller trying to get some info's off you.

    There will be a "small fee" before you can collect your winnings.

    They receive your payment then you never hear from them again

    Someone from Canada can verify, but I thought their lottery winnings were tax free.

    This has scam written all over it...why would the Lottery corporation contact you and tell you that you won?? Shouldn't you know what ticket you bought and whether or not it was a winner? Besides, how did they get your address and ph# in the first place? What proof do they have that this "winning ticket" has your name on it? Hate to burst your bubble...
