Lots of red flags here but what I think is the dead give away is this:
They give away 820,000.00 pounds to 200 email addresses weekly. Thats 400 million dollars a week or 26 billion a year or about 5% of the GDP of South Africa. No way - is that happening for real.

Tidal74 hit it right on the nose. If you did not buy a ticket, then chances are its a scam. I get a couple of these a day.
