Received check and letter in the mail today just as others have stating that attached to the ticket number 975130 I drew the lucky number of 3, 7, 9, 11, 23, 28, 31 and 39. There was also what looked like a legit check for 3900.00 to pay for taxes on the lump sum of 39, 000 that I had won. The check came from Peoples Bank in Connecticut. I did some research and found complaint and letter from Peoples United Bank (Changed their name to this rather than Peoples Bank-because of this fraud) I called them and found out this is happening all over the US. Unfortunately, because the company or crooks are out of the country resources for doing something about it are really limited and there is not much that can be done.
If you try to cash the check they can get your account information and wipe you out. This is a terrible scam. My heart goes out the person who gets this and is in desperate need to take care of family, bills, etc. and get ripped off!
