There’s yet another Lottery scam – this time with a new twist.
The latest involves emails alleged to be from Illinois’ recent $218 million dollar Mega Millions winner, offering to give one-point-five million dollars to three “lucky” recipients, if they’ll just send their personal information.
Illinois Lottery Superintendent Michael Jones says scammers often claim to be law enforcement or government officials – but this scammer claims to be a big Lottery winner.
