Ed McMahon lives?

A forum for posting "You have one the lottery" letters, and for asking whether the e-mail that your received is real (it isn't). Real lotteries do NOT advise winners by e-mail, and they do NOT require the payment of any fees up-front.

Believe it or not, Ed McMahon got those PCH mailers in the mail even though he wasn't eligible for the prizes. He joked on The Tonight Show that the mailers screamed, "Yes, you Ed McMahon might receive a check for one million dollars from Ed McMahon!"
