Got email from the camelot group anyone else get one?

I got this email from the camelot group, operators of the national lottery saying I won some 拢拢. The email goes on to say that I need to contact this person to process my claim. ''The United Kingdom National Lottery wishes to inform you that the results of the E-mail address ballot New year lottery international program by Great Britain held on the 1st March, 2007. Your email account has been picked as a winner of a lump sum pay out.''





Is this for real or a hoax? Has anyone else gotten this email?
