Default is the microsoft mega jackpot lottery for real or is it fake?

It is called an Advance Fee fraud or scam. Like most things tht are too
good to be true this one isn't true either! To collect your $millions all
you have to do is send them some actual money, usually a few thousand
dollars, as a fee of some sort, such as for opening an bank account
somewhere or having your million dollar check brought to you by courier.
Getting you to send the $ is really the point. And maybe, just maybe, they
might actually send you a check for a few million bucks or pounds. Better
be sure your banker isis not drinkng coffee or anything else when you
present the check. He or she may laugh hard enough to ruin your clothes!.
