To answer your question "Is this legitimate"--- NO! This is a classic 419 Scam. Publisher's Clearing House would NEVER notify a winner by email. Also, take a look at the email address--it actually isn't a publishersclearinghouse.com address, but a hotmail free account.
'LOTTERY WINNER' EMAILS ARE ALWAYS A SCAM AND YOU WILL END UP GETTING ROBBED. PERIOD.
The criminals behind it will ask you for your personal information (name, address, etc)--often a copy of your license, which they can use to steal your identity. They will say you have won a lottery (usually one you didnt even enter, so how could you have won something you never entered?!), and tell you they will send you a check, which you need to deposit and immediately send back a part (usually via western union or money gram), as a processing or claim fee. The check ends up being fake, and you'll have an overdraft in your account in about 7 days after the bank investigates it (and possible criminal charges for depositing a fake check). By then you will have already sent them $$ which you will never be able to get back.
NEVER, EVER RESPOND TO LOTTERY EMAILS- THEY ARE ALWAYS SCAMS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR IDENTITY STOLEN AND COLLECTIVELY LOST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. RESEARCH 419 SCAMS FOR MORE INFO.
