What is the point of these Spams? I mean there aren't ever advertisements attached or anything like that. WHY do people go through the trouble of making these emails???

Ive gotten like five in the past two months and even though I know its spam, It makes me hope for a split second, ands its just wrong to make people feel like they won money for a split second.

can anyone tell me why these spam messages exist???
