The real winner (according to our winners database) resides in the BRAZIL. Although he has not yet been contacted about his winning because we are still in search of his full contact details to which he can be contacted.
Therefore the message that was sent to you, come to you in an error. I would want to say, on behalf of BRITISH INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY BOARD very sorry for that obnoxious mistake. You shall be compensated as time goes on.
