unsolicited, pure spam. I haven't even entered a sweepstakes or whatever in years. did that stuff as a "kid"

but so what is a 419 scam?

This is a scam. Don't fall into the trap by contact them. They will try to steal some money from you by telling you that there's a fee to transfer your lottery earning. You will have to pay the money in order to receive you "winning". They will be gone after you paid them the money.

Yeah this is some sort of spam, and scam.

I mean if this "lottery" really did exist, wouldnt you have heard about it on the news?

Wouldnt it be in newspapers?

People would be expecting and waiting for this lottery every year.
