How I made 3 million in 3 days
I’m up about three million in three days. How did I do it? You’re not going to believe this. I have received several emails from several different international lotteries from all over the world. South Africa, Spain, and Nigeria just to name a few.
I can’t believe my good fortune. If I count the emails up, I think I’ve won a little over three million dollars. I don’t remember entering an international lottery, let alone 5 or 6, but I guess I should just count my blessings

No, it totally legit. I think Michael Scott said it best: when the Treasury Minister of Nigeria’s Uncle asks for help. You help!

I WON TOO!!!
I’m sitting on about 2.4 million from my email lottery winnings right now. I just day trade for fun now. Life is great. Last I checked though, the money I won may be in Zimbabwea currency, and with their current inflation rate, this may mean that I’ve only won about 2 dollars in US currency. It’s a shame……
The last redenomination took the Zimbabwean dollar to 250 to the U.S dollar. While the official rate to the dollar is now 30,000 Zimbabwean dollars, the black market rate is 1.2 million Zimbabwean dollars to the U.S dollar.

(and you thought the US dollar inflation was bad)

Sweet! My buddy won also and as soon as the banks are able to finish processing the money transfer, he’s gonna be rich also - you two should compare notes. I should warn you that money transfers aren’t as simple as they sound. I gather people need to be bribed and you may have to hand over some money first, but as my buddy says, you gotta spend money to make money!
(For an interesting and entertaining look at a company that was nearly brought to bankruptcy because of this, check out “The Informant” by Kurt Eichenwald. It’s better than a Grisham thriller, though it really starts after a high-level exec realized that he had been screwed out of money and aims to get even.)
