Instead of sending you a bogus check just to have you wire most of it back - only to have the check bounce and you have to pay the money back to the bank(which legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes DON'T DO) They are now just asking for the $20 fee - again - legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes DO NOT HAVE YOU SEND MONEY - they take it first before you see any winnings at all. read about this scam and others on the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WEBSITE Giving the Bounce to Counterfeit Check Scams http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre40.shtm
