You are correct, this is not a win. This is better written than some of them but what really jumped out at me is that a "Microsoft" win would be attached to a Hotmail account. There are plenty of real sweeps left to be won, but unfortunately, this one is spam.

lol thanks bunches for the pinch back to reality.. although i have yet to win a "real" sweepstakes i have gotten hundreds of these phoney things and am getting good at spotting them but this one threw me.. glad to know i am still batting 0 in the sweepstakes game..lol..thanks again

You'll get lots and lots of these. They are usually pretty easy to spot if they're from another country, use the L pound sign thing...dead giveaways! Not literally of course!
