Then I received this email:
The is to remind you that your refusal to claim your winning will result to disqualifying your prize and re-allocate it to charity organisation and this is because a form was sent to you that you were surpose to fill and send back to this office for verification of you winning
before refering you to the paying bank that will transfer the funds into your nominated bank account of your choice but you refuse to fill in the form and send back to us.
Please we want you to send a letter that you are not interested in claiming your prize so that the Eurolottery Department will have the full authority to reallocate your winning without wasting time.
Waiting for your response as soon as possible.
Best Regards.
