I never entered an contest but the notice I got today in the mail says I won $1,327,940.00 (isn't that mail fraud) which they included in a check for that amount. Notice says filing year 2016. It says the cash funds will be paid directly to me by my option of lump sum check for $1,327,940.00 or a larger sum amount of $2,000,000.00 to be remitted by annual payments of $66,666.66 per year for 30 years.
This is very scary - I can see other seniors like myself who could easily mistake this for a real contest and real check.
They want me to complete entire page 2 form. Then their office will then serve me officially and with all due distinction. Page 2 says I have to send them premium offer fee due for delivery in the amount of $12.99 paid by cash,, check or money order.
