Oh, look mate; another lotto.

What's interesting about this one is that the message was repeated twice in the body of the message.

Congratulation!!

Here's the odd thing, besides the fact that the same message was repeated twice. In the information that I am supposed to send them, I have to include the total amount that I won. (Question 8.)

Ummmm, if I won the lotto, shouldn't they know how much I won? That is, shouldn't question 8 be, ah, irrelevant? Otherwise how can they trust me not to fill this in with a much bigger number?

Total To Date: $21,450,000, assuming I'm not dishonest and put in a bigger number in question 8.
