IRISH RANDOM LOTTO - IRISH RANDON INTERNATIONAL WINNING CERTIFICATE ripoff, bogus EDMONTON Alberta

I was lead to believe that I won a lotto. I called the Irish Random Lotto and was told that the check was legitimate, there was nothing bogus about it and to deposit the check right away and not to say anything to anyone. My bank put a hold on the check for 5 business days.

I haven't heard anything from my bank as of yet. I called my daughter and told her about the Irish Random Lotto. She sent me something very disturbing from the internet about the Irish Random Lotto. That it was bogus and there were others who have been affected by the same company.

How can something like this happen to people like me? Is this some kind of joke?

Please help me.
