TESTIMONIES OF OUR PAST LUCKY WINNERS: ''When I first received an unsolicited email that I have just won Eight Million Dollars it appeared to me like one of those uncalled -for emails .However when I decided to justify my curiosity by contacting the Agent they told me in the email to know if this was real he instructed me on what to do to claim my winning and as a matter of fact I was skeptical initially but when I did I was full of surprise when my bank here in America called me up to confirm to me that an additional Eight Million Dollars Has been transferred to my account. I am really happy for the MEGA MILLIONS LOTTO COMPANY who made it possible for me to be a millionaire Today''. [Mr. Shaun Walter [From Texas In The United States of America] ''To me everything was pointing to the direction of a scam especially when I was told that I have to make the payment of a particular amount of money being the government Tax imposition and transfer charges to the transfer bank before my winning fund will be transferred This was so because I had the belief that for being a winner I do not have to send money first before receiving . However when I discussed this with my wife she urged me to do so because of her believe on the Lottery. After I have meet this condition, it hit me like a thunder ball when I was surprised that eventually Five Hundred Thousand Dollars was deposited into my MELLI BANK account .It was unbelievable to me until I made the withdrawal of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars to buy a new house in Tehran, Iran''. Dr. MOHAMMAD HOSSEIN [From Iran] ''To me I was the last person on earth to believe in the Internet of a thing and its winning. Especially considering the fact that I am a black woman from Africa.
