Why, Oh Why doesn't people think when they get the message about winning the lottery?Valid questions to ask:Did I buy tickets in that lottery?Why do they want money from me to transfer money TO me? Why not just deduct money from the prize

Goes to prove evolution theory is flawed. Gilbert stayed alive on this planet long enough to reproduce and grow old. Probably has kids running around somewhere buying cheap land in Florida and bridges between Manhattan and Brooklyn. .We all get emails a dozen times a week telling us about lotteries we've won, but never bought tickets for. Ever answered any of them?Jack

Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have given my debit card and social security # out when Banco de Panama sent me an email saying they needed to verify my account. ...some people will never learn. Gilbert is the reason why scams like this exist.

How many times does this have to happen before people wise up?I wish these bastards would get caught and be tortured on public tv until they are dead.

Mr. Gilbert, I always thought that when you win a lottery, they send you money...you don't send them money.

Wait a minute, fols. This guy may be a senior citizen (and by definition I guess I am also) but his comments tend to show he's not a senile senior citizen.So the first question one asks oneself when yuo get something like this is.....Did I enter any such lottery?Nobody wins a lottery they never entered. Case closed. He should have known then.It's like the old saying..... They said I was gullible. And I believed them.

I feel sorry for those who were scammed since the warning signals were there and yet they still somehow failed to see them.

The Illinois lottery may not be a scam, but if he played the Illinois Lottery, he would end up losing a lot more than $946...
