Publishing Clearing House Fake winner's announcement and Fake check looks real New Castle Delaware

I was looking thru my mail last night and found a letter annoucing I won One Million dollars. There was also a check enclosed for $5090.00. The letter instructed me to call my Rep named Mr. Larry Wiseman and to keep my sercurity code confidential. The letter also gave me the name of the Internal Revenue agent handling my file, Mr. Harvey. The letter and check appear to be the real thing however, I had my father take it to the bank and within a few seconds was told it was a fake. DO NOT cash anything before you research where it came from.
