While there is a real "Lucky Day" lottery portal site in the Netherlands, which is part of the legitimate Dutch lottery company "De Lotto", neither Lucky Day nor De Lotto send out any winning notifications by email to people who never bought a lottery ticket from them. The following spam is a cross between a fake "Lucky day" and fake "UK National Lottery" scam, using some Dutch names and some UK bits. Like all "email lotteries" it is a 419 scam, which is a type of fraud.

The following scam email is a blend of a fake Dutch and UK lottery.
