Wow.  Initially, I was amazed at how real it looked, and of course, I got more curious because I thought the message was referring to another " race." 

So watch out for these scams cuz I am sure they're all over the Internet. 

On the other hand, I haven't officially "claimed my prize" so if you think this might be authentic or you're just curious, please proceed to contact the corresponding agent in London...and don't forget to ask for all your bills in non-sequential order!!
