Just got a letter from them today - it reeks of scam. Note they want money! They say $5.95 for a processing fee but read the small print. If you send them a check you are authorizing not only electronic cashing of that check but also authorizing a MONTHLY debit from your checking account of $19.90 until you notify them in writing of its cancellation! This, supposedly, for "ITD membership" which claims to offer discounts on a variety of goods and services.
The general rule on these so-called sweepstakes is - if they want money e.g. processing fee, courier fee, customs clearance fee, etc. - then have NOTHING to do with them. You will only lose what you put in.

Legitimate sweepstakes do not require upfront money in order to pay a winner...NEVER! Winners pay taxes AFTER they receive the winnings. Also, you have to enter a sweepstakes in order to win, Legitimate sweepstakes companies do not contact anyone unless they receive an entry from the person. If you are contacted without entering the sweepstakes, it is not a legitimate sweepstakes. Even if you entered a sweepstakes, remember that legitimate sweepstakes NEVER require upfront money in order for the person to collect their winnings. Please see the Related Link for more information.
A small group a Irish Business man. It was all a Scam. For 50 years.
If you have to pay any money in advance before picking up the check, then yes, it's a scam.
There is little or no information about the Nottingham Collective Sweepstakes online. If you are considering entering this, read all the information that comes with the entry carefully. If you are asked to give any sensitive information, like your bank account or card numbers, social security number, etc. it could be a scam or worse.
To determine whether or not a program is a scam, ask yourself whether it sounds too good to be true. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is a scam. Also if you have to pay in order to begin work, it is usually a scam.
