Default Schleswig-Holstein Lottery Scam

I received a million-euro prize offer (unnamed recipient) from the Schleswig-Holstein Lottery today. Clearly this has to be a scam - but could someone please head me towards a description/explanation. I'll delete it of course, but I like to know the enemy!

Thanks, Alastair Macgeorge
