Where's the money?

I'm going to guess that you had to send cash via Western Union to an address in Alberta. (Edmonton, where the phone number is registered, and Calgary are both in Alberta.) Sending money via Western Union is the same as putting money in a bottle and throwing it into the river. No one does business through Western Union anymore, except crooks. There was no lottery. Even if there were, it's usually illegal for foreign agents to collect. And lotteries want people to collect in person so they can take their picture for publicity -- to sell more tickets for next time. They don't have any reason to give out money secretly. I'm afraid this is going to have to be an expensive lesson learned. But, on the off-chance, file a report with the ftc.gov -- federal trade commission. Include the return address, the phone number, and any contact information you were given. Maybe there's a lot of other people after the same guys and you'll get lucky.
