Many people nowadays are sceptical
about online lotteries and competitions

Here we try to answer some of
the most frequently asked questions

Is the lottery legal?

Check the domain name: Is it the same as the website?
Is there a link from the host's website.
Make as many checks on the host site as possible, e.g.:
If it is a charity check the registration is genuine or not.
If it is not a charity Google search the host to see what you can find.

What should I pay?

No genuine lottery will ask you for a registration or office fee, if they do, back away!
If the lottery is genuine. all you should have to pay should be the
ticket fee or the equivalent entrance fee WHICH SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THE
PRICE OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE LOTTERY.
 

If I get an unsolicited letter or phone call
from a purported lottery
either here or overseas saying I have won what should I do?

IGNORE IT!  If you have not entered a lottery then you can't have won
 {you have to be in it to win it!}
 

what if I am asked to forward monies
for administration or   
registration fees or taxes?

IGNORE IT! No proper lottery will ask you for anything except to
produce your wining ticket or receipt if you have won. Anything else
can be deducted from your winnings including any and all taxes etc.

Finally ask about to see if anyone you know has had any bad
experiences about the lottery you are thinking about entering
