The security notification from national- lottery.
states that,

{ [

Lottery scam (fraudulent) emails are increasing at an alarming rate.
Scam emails try to persuade the email receiver to submit personal information or to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning lottery prize.

As a general rule, if you have not purchased a ticket for the UK National Lottery, you won’t have won a prize, and you should treat the email with absolute caution.

The following points are some things to look for in order to identify a fraudulent email:

If the email says ‘Winning Notification’ or ‘Lottery Sweep Stake’ in the text, the email you’ve received is not from UK National Lottery;
We don’t tell players how much they've won in an email; and
We don’t ask for any Player information like name, address or bank details on an email.

There is no need to contact us if you have received a lottery related scam (fraudulent) email.

kindly assist me !
Thanking you,
Sumit S. Pimparkar
