Amazon lottery

A forum for posting "You have one the lottery" letters, and for asking whether the e-mail that your received is real (it isn't). Real lotteries do NOT advise winners by e-mail, and they do NOT require the payment of any fees up-front.

Amazon lottery

Post by Arthur Rubin »

In a text from a local phone number (my area code, adjacent to my cell phone's area code):
Amazon: Congratulations Arthur, you came in 2nd in this week's Amazon Airpods raffle! Click this link to arrange shipment: [link deleted]
Does that mean I won a 2nd hand Airpod?

I got a similar message that said I had won 1st place.

Which I think means I get a 3rd-hand Airpod.
