There are no sweepstakes in Canada.
Lotteries are run by the Government or Licensed charites.
Foreign participation is never allowed.
Winnings are tax-free.
Throw out these letters. Hang up the phone.
That letter may be pretending to come from Texas, bu the phone number is in Toronto.
You are right to classify this as a ripoff.

There can be a "sweepstakes" contest, such as a McDonald's Monopoly game, but they have to be constructed to be a contest. And there is no way someone could be a participant without knowing, let alone a winner.
