I almost fell for it the first time I got it. Since it was nearly 10 years ago, it was a paper letter, not an e-mail. For days I pondered whether to call or not... and I think the impulse finally died smothered by daily routine.

In any case, joe, you certainly deserve it. 🙂
 
Geez,
How many second prizes are there for this? I've won something like 70 or 80 million $ by now with all the second prize winners I've had😀
Pretty good for never buying a ticket😀
Ya think these guys had a Monopoly game as kids(second prize in the beauty contest)?
Of course, joe, you blew it by not keeping this confidential 🙁

I think you ought to send it to that poor guy in Nigeria who is trying to get his money out of the bank. It might help him.

I had an email from a supposed long lost cousin, in Ireland, that wanted to give me her entire estate and fortune. The lawyer sent me an email and said he would process it for $975 US as soon as he got the money. I could not imagine how someone wouldknow I had kin by that name, in Ireland, till I remembered doing a geneology search online. Beware what you put out there.
I forwarded it to a friend in Scotland Yard
