I’ve been told I won a lottery prize. Is it real?
The New York Lottery will never contact you to notify you that you’ve won a prize. If you have received an email, text message, letter or phone call claiming that you’ve won a prize, it is most likely to be a scam. Always remember that you cannot win a prize in a lottery you did not enter, so if you receive a notification that you’ve won money in a lottery that you have never played, it is fraudulent.
