Reference Number: LP/265/0460037/05
Batch: 24/00319/IPD
Dear Winner,
We are pleased to inform you of the new result of the just concluded annual
final draws of the Loteria la primitiva Program. The la primitiva draws
was conducted from an exclusive list of 25,000,000
e-mail addresses of individual and corporate bodies picked by an
advanced automated random computer ballot search from the internet
as part of our international program which we conduct every year.
No tickets were sold.
After this automated computer ballot, your e-mail address attached to
serial number 2113-05 drew the lucky numbers 3-18-19-30-32-39
which consequently emerged you as one of first fifty (50) lucky
winners in this category.
You have therefore been approved for a lump sum payout of
€1,000,000.00 (One Million EURO) in cash credited to file
LR/00319/IPD. This is from a total cash prize of €50,000,000
(Fifty Million) Euro shared amongst the first fifty (50) lucky
winners in this category.
This year Lottery Program Jackpot is the largest ever for the Loteria
la primitiva. The estimated €50 million jackpot would be the sixth-biggest
in Europe history. The biggest was the €363 million jackpot that
went to two winners in a Febuary 2000 drawing of The Big Game
Mega Millions' predecessor.
Your fund is now deposited in the bank with a hardcover
insurance.
Due to the mix up of some numbers and names, we advice that
you keep this award from public notice until your claim has been
processed and your money remitted to you as this is part of our
security protocol to avoid double claiming or unwarranted taking
advantage of this program by the public.
Please note that your lucky winning number falls within our European
booklet representative office in London. In view of this, your
€1,000,000.00 (One Million Euro) would be released to you by our
affiliate bank in Europe.
Our agent will immediately commence the process to facilitate the
release of your funds to you as soon as you make contact with him.
