The Microsoft and Compaq Windows Lottery Incorporation has discovered a 
huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends 
relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their 
pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery 
on behalf of the real winners.
The Microsoft and Compaq Windows Lottery Incorporation has reached a 
decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the 
Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, 
making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is 
taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about 
the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your 
winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
