No, look at the reply adress. Nothing that's legit uses a g-mail account. I have about eight of these kinds of things in my spam folder.

I was being excitedly sarcastic.... I definitely should've used some smilies to account for that. My bad.

That didn't really seem like a normal sarcastic reply...'Congrats!!' might have been.

Anyway - I also won today! Just saw the e-mail last time I checked my inbox. Mine was only a half a million pounds though.

(note sarcasim)

I received some wonderful news from Nigeria recently... It's kinda sad in a way - some long-lost distant relative of mine died. But they left me ELEVEN million dollars! I know it's legit, too, because they said that the F.B.I. is involved. So I e-mailed them back and told them thank you, and that in order to expidite things, I forwarded a copy of their e-mail to the F.B.I. personally.

As the great D. Duck once said,

"I'M RICH!!! I'M RICH!!! I'M FABULOUSLY WEALTHY!!! MINE! MINE! IT'S ALL MINE!"
