This is a fake lottery scam claiming to be from Microsoft. I have received many dozens of those similar kinds from the big corporations to the banking service sectors addressed to me from all over the globe and I wonder how they got my email address. Where on earth you are ushered to such kind of free dinner or lunch without knowing the opposite end. With the big number quoted on the winning lottery, might lured some to fill in the forms, but thanks God, I am not that Greedy la. I call those professional lottery scam. I have no count of how many such similar emails I deleted. But I rather post one of its kinds for my readers to read in case they got conned off. They only attempts to make you pay for advance fees before you can collect the prize. If you send your personal information to them, they might use the data for identify theft. So it appeared to be of one below:
