TINAPA LOTTO INT'L

it gave me a bunch of ticket numbers, ref numbers, and serial numbers. i want to say its junk mail, but i haven't entered this email into anything, i use other addresses for stuff like that. i ONLY get school related emails. i contacted my "ref manager" or whatever. these school adresses have filters so that we dont GET spam or anything, so i'm confused. do you think im a soon to be half a millionare? or //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif
