Yep. but if you win, they get their money first. The odds would be better if you used the money to pay the taxes first though.

Some lotteries have such bad odds you are more likely to be hit by lightening more then once then win big.

No not on the original win in Australia, however any interest that is derived from it is taxable. What about fees for amounts $1 million and over. Did you hear the news? You'll still end up paying fees if you win big. The government (in Australia) said something about implementing a new fee charged for people who have $1 million or more in their bank accounts, so you will probably end up paying fees (not taxes) for your big win if it is sitting in a bank account.

What should you do if lottery mail is to your email?

Remember, to enter a lottery you take the initiative to enter it. If you did not take the initiative, usually by buying a ticket, you have not entered it. Also, you do not have to send money in order to get your winnings in real lotteries. If they ask for money in order for you to receive winnings, it is a scam. So, delete the email.
