No, you genuinely will have won something you didn't enter.

Do you really not know?

Total scam, but it has reminded me to buy a genuine Euromillions ticket for tonight. Massive rollover draw.

Definitely a scam. You've just reminded me though that I won a £1000 Asda voucher through a competition on the Morrisons website the other day. Funnily enough, they wouldn't let me have my winnings unless I purchased something. Hmm

Totally genuine. You'll probably be asked to pay them money to get your £2 million but it'll be worth it Hmm

You can very definitely be the actual real winner of a lottery you didn't even enter. Happens all the time.

Congrats OP! What are you buying first? I would like a unicorn and then maybe a ride on a mythical dragon?

Is the +44 number a real phone number? you might want to edit it if it is!

Op your actual real mobile phone number is in the image you posted, and the text of your op will make it clear to anyone who sees it that you aren't always going to spot a scam. You may wish to ask mnhq to delete it.

Those concerned about the number I'm guessing that's the number it came from feel free to spam it
If you send me 1,000 I can spend it for you? cos that's what they are clearly trying to do
But I will send photos of what I buy Grin

Hi OP, just letting you know that edited your pic to take the phone number out. We think it was the number the spam text was sent from, but we wanted to be sure your privacy was protected.

No, it's definitely real. I've won many such sums from people texting, emailing or snail-mailing me stuff out of the blue.

I am writing this from my private jet

I got that and just deleted it!
