I received an official looking email today from a Dr. Graham Robert - who can you trust if you can't trust a Doctor? - letting me know that I'd one 'One Million Euros' in the 'Euromillion Email Sweepstakes' drawing that took place on March 27th. It has a number of very official looking reference, ticket and 'winning' numbers spread liberally throughout in addition to the confident and authoritative reference to Dr. Robert himself.
I haven't told Michelle yet - it will be a surprise when we head out for our 3 day getaway when we're picked up by helicopter from outside the house and flown to the waiting private jet that will take us to San Francisco. From there we'll have a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce (limos are two-a-penny here in California) to our penthouse suite at the W Hotel in the City, a night at the Opera, a tour of the LucasFilm compound hosted by George Lucas himself, and a Napa Valley winery tour before dinner at the French Laundry and multiple sequential spa treatments upon returning to the Spa. I say it will be a surprise because I'm sure what she'd really like to do is bet it all on a single hand of Blackjack in Vegas.
Of course, the reality is that this all just a scam. You generally don't win things that you don't enter, and even then rarely - that's how lotteries make money, by having the odds stacked heavily in their favor.
One last thought - you would do well to be wary of people with a first name as their last name.
