Dear Winner,
WINNING NOTIFICATION
For five (5) decades now, The Game Arena Ltd has set out and successfully organized and conducted sweepstakes/draws on a Weekly, Monthly and Annual basis. We have equally maintained our stand and are unbeatable in the industry as it concerns the pay out of winnings to successful winners with the help of our London clearing/pay banks/courier delivery services.
In line with the commemorating event marking our 50th year anniversary/existence, we rolled out over £50,000,000.00 (Fifty Million Great British Pounds) for this anniversary/end of year draw. The selection was made through a computer drawn system attaching personalized email addresses to ticket numbers. Selected winners for these draws were randomly picked and drawn from a wide range of web users.
As luck and destiny would have it, your email address as indicated was randomly picked and attached to ticket number 50492047772 with batch/serial number: TGA-UK-07-08009/09 and drew these lucky numbers 04-07-12-21-22-35 (50) which subsequently won you £450,000.00 GBP (Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Great British Pounds) as one of the 50 jumbo jackpot winners in this draw. You are therefore entitled to a total payout of £450,000.00 GBP (Four Hundred and fifty Thousand Great British Pounds) in this jumbo batch. The draws were
conducted in Barnsley London, United Kingdom on November 13, 2009.
