International Lotteries vs. Lottery Scams How to tell the difference between a government operated lottery, an International lottery, and a scam letter that says you won the lottery. Sweepstakes are advertiser-sponsored and are used for the specific purpose of providing marketing exposure. There is no entry fee and jackpots are provided by those advertisers. Therefore, it is in their best interest to advertise as much as possible through 3rd party email marketing programs. Country and state lotteries (i.e. government lotteries) target the residents of that country or state and their advertising is through the media. That means through the use of billboards, newspapers, and TV and radio commercials - NOT email. There is an entry fee, and the value of the jackpot is the cumulative total of all the entry fees less operating expenses. (See Sponsored vs. Operated Lotteries) Government operated lotteries
