Mega millions. Powerball. The jackpots keep going up. We're buying those tickets hoping we win. But be careful. The better Business Bureau says we've lost more than $9 million to lottery scams over the last few years, the scammer will use the names and logos of real lotteries to trick you and they'll randomly reach out by email, text, even social media, they'll claim you've been chosen for *** prize, even putting your name on *** list that looks official. But here's the big red flag. You need to know that's not how these big lotteries work. Don't choose random winners, but the biggest red flag is that the scammer will tell you you have to pay to get the prize. Real lotteries will never ask you to pay insurance fees or delivery fees or for you to pay the taxes before you get the money. And if they tell you, you can increase your odds of winning by paying, it's *** scam. Just remember, you can only win by buying *** ticket and matching the winning numbers. Trust me, I know I've tried. Winning is by chance. You don't have to pay fees up front. That's all for today back to you, keep playing, you may win.
