This is yet another example of an email scam claiming that you won a prize.
In order to lower suspicion, they mention that there are no tickets to buy and only your email is used. This is to preempt the question: "how can I win a lottery when I did not buy a ticket?"

It is also FAKE!
Wed, 2009/12/16 - 22:03First, I got the text message on my cellphone and the person asked me to provide my email adress and my full name. Then, I sent the information to this person by email then, I've got the following email.
I thought it might be true and the luckiest moment finally came to me, too but, I had doubt that the person's email adress was yahoo.co.uk and I thought the person could not the one who is part of the real NOKIA company.
I thank all of the people that shared theirs experiences and I would like also to do the same thing in order to get more victimes.
Thanks,
