I am a Yahoo!Lottery Winner!
Anyone remember when I won three lotteries last year?! For those who missed it, three different lotteries in Spain, Australia and some other European country picked my e-mail out of millions and billions of other e-mails to award me more than $4.6 million!
Unlucky girl that I am, I must of done something wrong since here I am still writing this blog and not $1 richer -- at least not from any highly illegal foreign lottery!
Oh, the good things I was going to do with that money! Buy a tastful villa. Travel to sun-drenched beaches. Sip cocktails. Shop.
Just as I was sitting here, feeling awfully sorry for myself (especially while I was waiting for someone from a state agency to call me back so I can meet my column deadline today), I checked my in-box and lo and behold, I've won again! But this time, it's not some disreputable international lottery. This time it was the Yahoo! Internet Lottery!
I didn't even know there was such a thing, but it says I've won $546,924.56! Any other lottery winners out there? Who wants to meet for drinks in Morocco?!
Should I be worried that the e-mail spelled the word "being" as "been? Or that there seems to be a lot of run-on sentences? Or that to collect my winnings, I have to contact Mr. Toni Silver of General De Seguros in Spain even though Yahoo! is located in Sunnyvale, Calif.? Or that once again, they want me to keep it a secret from all my friends and family?
I mean, the author of the letter -- Dr. Moore (Ph.D) -- isn't just trying to just get all my personal information from me, right? I mean, he's a Ph.D, for goodness sakes. You can trust a Ph.D, can't you?!
Good googamoogah. Don't these people know that I write for a living? If they're looking to swindle money out of someone, they should pick someone who actually makes money for a living!
Er. In case anyone wanted to read it, here's my lottery column from last February.
Dear readers, this will be my last column.
I have enjoyed my time with you, but I must go. Yes, I've had buckets of fun as we've swapped stories about soul-sucking encounters with customer service reps. We've gleefully high-fived each other by telephone and in cyberspace for our small consumer victories. We've even given thanks together for all the businesses that helped us right so many wrongs.
I'll always cherish those moments. But now a new life beckons, thanks to a wonderfully surprising windfall that has fallen into my lap. Woo Hoo! I! Am! So! Excited!What, you ask, is going on? Well, I'm not really supposed to share yet since I've been told to pinky-finger swear by all that is good and golden to keep this strictly hush-hush. But seeing as how we're practically friends, I can tell you it has to do with a small fortune, a tasteful villa, a sun-drenched beach and a steady supply of cocktails.
Yes, I am retiring to a life of leisure at the ripe old age of 35. And to think that I'd figured my puny savings would force me to keep working forever and a day!
What's the secret, you ask? Well, I hesitate to say. Ms. Vera Kalihoff and Mr. Walter Jones expressly said in their e-mail that I should keep things confidential and "adhere to this instructions strictly to avoid loss" of my cash prize.
But since I can barely contain myself, I'll share this with just you (promise not to tell, OK?):
I've won a jackpot in three, yes, three different countries!
The East-West Australia Lottery held on Feb. 1 picked out my e-mail address and corresponding ticket No. 38090325436 out of hundreds of thousands of ballots and I won a whopping 1 million euros. A week later, I discovered the Spanish Loteria - otherwise known as El Gordo - picked out my e-mail and my lucky numbers 9-43-97 (I didn't even know I had lucky numbers!) for the grand prize of 1.5 million euros.
Then last week, the staatsloterij said I won another 1 million euros.
It's a miracle - especially since I've never played the lottery in my life, not in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Australia or Spain. Shoot, I've never even been to Australia or Spain. So much for that whole "You've got to play to win" malarkey.
At first, that pesky little thought made me pause for a second and think that maaaaybe someone was trying to dupe me. But then I remembered I have an aunt and cousins who live Down Under. I've barely seen them in decades, so the fact that they were kind enough to enter me into a lottery really touches my heart. By golly, I'll have to send them a thank you note.
I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I managed to win Spain's lottery, but then I suddenly remembered that my neighbor went to Spain not too long ago. She must have bought me a ticket. I knew shoveling her sidewalk last winter would eventually pay off.
And I haven't a clue where the staatsloterij is based, but no matter. They say luck happens in threes, right?
Before you start raining on my parade, I already know that the Federal Trade Commission says playing a foreign lottery violates federal law, but since I didn't actually enter those lotteries myself, does that still count? I'm sure when I contact Mr. Jones and Jim Benson of Laagste Bank in the Netherlands (that's who Ms. Kalihoff said I should call) to collect my winnings, they'll kindly explain all the rules to me.
I also know that the FTC warns us about international lotteries (See? I'm no dummy. I do my homework.) because consumers lose $120 million a year to such scams, but I am sure those chumps didn't do their research and they weren't dealing with such fine, upstanding people as Mr. Jones, Ms. Kalihoff and Mr. Benson.
Oops. I hope they forgive me for doubting their integrity and for over-sharing.
The thing is, all they want me to do right now is call in with my name, contact numbers, address, winning numbers and the amount I've won.
It's not as if they're asking for anything outrageous like my bank account, credit card or Social Security numbers. They didn't ask me to wire or mail them money first before I can collect my prize. They haven't even mentioned paying hundreds or even thousands of my own money for taxes before I get my money. Hoo boy, because that might set off some alarm bells.
All they want me to do so far is keep this a secret, which doesn't sound shady at all. I am sure they're only doing that to protect me. After all, once you become a millionaire - and according to the currency converter, I've lucked into about US $4.6 million - everyone wants a piece of you, right?
I'm looking forward to sharing my good fortune with my family and friends. What's money without someone to share it with, right? But to make sure I don't squander all the loot, I made sure to consult with my good friend and colleague, financial dynamo Eileen Ambrose, who said I should invest any large sum of money wisely.
I know, I know. I wasn't going to spill the beans to Eileen, but crikey (See that? I'm already speaking Aussie.), we have been friends for years so I knew she'd keep my jackpot on the down-low. Imagine my delight when she said she was also a winner! She hit the U.K. National Lottery for 1.5 million euros and another million from the staatsloterij.
Gee, that country, wherever it is, must be loaded.
Unfortunately, Eileen brought me back to reality with a lot of talk about paying U.S. taxes and the cost of living over in Europe, but hey, we did make plans to rendezvous in the City of Light after collecting our prize. Given that I won more, I'm going to splurge and foot the bill for le grand adventure. Eileen liked that idea since she chuckled, promised to see me in Paris and then winked at me.
All the whispering and woo-hoos got my esteemed colleague John Woestendiek's attention - I wasn't going to tell him either, but he is ever the intrepid and sharp-eyed reporter - and he quickly informed me that he just won 1.5 million euros from the U.K. lottery, too.
Fancy that. What are the odds that three big jackpot winners are all working here at the same paper? There could be more of us, but since we've all been sworn to double-super-silence, I can't know for sure.
Somebody pinch me. This is just too good to be true.

I recently received an email that read CONGRATULATIONS!!!.....YOU HAVE WON Ђ 750,000 Euros. I responded and they have been hounding me to send them money via Western Union to cover the tax, and as soon as they receive it they will route my money to my bank. I informed them that I was not able to do that and now the bank itself (where the money it at), is calling me to do whatever it takes to make the payment for the tax so that they can move the money to me. Boy, does that sound weird or what?
DD: Uh, yea. I would not talk to these people anymore, Lupita.

Ive received a letter via regular mail informing me I'm a
winner of 128000.00 some dollars.I was picked out of millions of people and am one of ten to win,This is connected to JB InternationalPromotions, I even received a check to deosit in my account to cover the taxes, I;m to call back after i deposit the check, I think this is a scam
Definitely a scam! Report it to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP. You can also contact the U.S. Postal Service Postal Inspection Service. --- lfk.
