My sister received a letter on May 8, 2009, Final Notice (Without Prejudice). It reads that she was a winner on USA MEGA MILLIONS drawing. In the letter it refers to Entry No. with the lucky numbers, and she had matched first 5 (five) numbers congratulated her. That she had won $250,000.00. They claimed that Multi-State Lottery Association had contacted them. They also attached a check in the amount of US $1,980.50 protion of her winnings provided to help her pay Insurance, Handling and Shipping fee. CITI Fininancil Inc. representiative in her area would deliver the $248,019.50 check directly to her door, after she completed the claim. She was then asked to call their agent assigned to her immediately after receiving the document to activate the check and start the claiming process. They gave her the Claims Manager'a name and telephone number, which after checking the area code of the telephone number is in British Colombia Canada.
Of course I advised her not to call, thinking it might be a scam. They have also given her a PIN Number. Could someone get back to me if it's for real. My sister is in her eighties and does not remember playing the Mega Lottery. If you need further information I have a copy of the letter with all the details.
Thanks
