I Am the Winner!

I am thrilled to learn that I drew the Lucky Winning Numbers in the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY. It's particularly exciting because I am not British, and I've never played the lottery in the US, much less in the UK. My prize is: Five hundred thousand, Great Britain Pound Starlings (£500,000.00). WOW! And here's the proof:

Now I just need some accent coaching so that no one will suspect I'm not British. Is Madonna available?

Oops, not so fast, apparently. UNBELIEVABLY, this may be a scam. I am shocked beyond words.
