Congratulations.. what does it say you have won?.. Bill Gates' entire
personal fortune, or his head on a stick?..

Of course it is a scam.. Microsoft are not in the business of lotteries..

It is a scam... I get the same email about once a week... Did you buy a Microsoft
Lottery ticket?

We don't have to *buy* Microsoft lottery tickets - we can *make* them with
Publisher!

I can make the lottery ticket. I've learned my programming skills suck big
time. Brian - you want to tackle that one? ;-)

That's right! Then Ed will have to do it. He's probably on some winter break
from university right now. He'll have lots of time.
