Rita ... generally, they get your email address in one of 3 ways. --- 1) using email providers like hotmail.com, yahoo.com, comcast.net, and thousands of others, they construct email addresses from common names. So, for example they create a list, starting with anna1@example.com, anna2@example.com, ... anna1001 ... and so on up to 10000 or more. Then they continue with other names like amy, bill, charles. Then this is all repeated for other email providers like yahoo, hotmail, aol, comcast and many others ... A simple computer program can create millions of email addresses very quickly. I once signed up for an email address something like m5000@example.com, and within minutes of signing up, I received dozens of spam emails, even though I DID NOT USE THE EMAIL ADDRESS YET. --- 2) they offer a free gift like a ringtone, a song, a screensaver, or an e-greeting-card and those who respond are added to a list that is sold many times to spammers. This can even happen if a friend innocently signs your email address up for a free item as a 'FAVOR' to you. --- 3) Theft of customer lists at Real Legitimate Companies. Your bank, shopping site, car-rental company, national sweepstakes company, hair salon, credit card company, auto manufacturer, national beverage company, tv station, newspaper, even schools and government agencies and thousands of others. An employee with proper access can copy customer information, and before or after getting fired, can sell that information to many times to spammers. --- These are in my opinion the 3 most common ways but I am sure there are very many other ways.

This just happened to me and being stupid and not even thinking I filled out the name, age, race, etc. I hope they can't get anything else. I know I won't give them anything more. These scams are getting unreal.

u posted your email on the net? or u use your email to register at some sites? they sell your email address to spamers

How did they get my info in the first place? That is what I would like to know.

That is a valid and good point in some cases. But having seen so many lottery and awards scams we are certain when we see one without even the need to check the original website. Nevertheless, we will try to include such details where time permit. Thanks for your feedback.

I received this exact email some time ago. However, I never responded because there was nothing posted on the Official Coca Cola website about and lottery in the UK. All of there contest were here. Check your sources individually before responding.
