It is a fake email from a scammer. Google, Yahoo, Rediff etc dont run such lotteries. You can receive such an email named from anyone and you may even get a link to some fake lottery or lucky draw website. But its all a part of the scam to take your credit card number or charge you in some way or force you to send them a payment. Once they receive the payment its impossible to track down. By the way I would suggest you do not use gmail as it keeps all the data from its users though its deleted and it could be used against you anywhere.
i have received message from CCUK INTERNATIONAL MOBILE draw, that i won 1, 000, 000 pounds,
how to claim this amount.
Please guide for further process...!!
