First, my wife legitimately won a $1000 State of New Hampshire lottery prize in August 2014. Her name appears on the NHLottery,com winners list. Today, Oct.1 2014 2:55 PM, a man called from (876) 404-7999 claiming to be from the New Hampshire State Lottery office saying, "previous lottery winners were entered into a 2nd chance drawing and we have now won $5 Million". He provided me a claim ticket # and a spoofed New Hampshire phone number (603) 369-6867 to expedite same day delivery of my certified check. It's clearly a scam and I did not make the call. If I did call I would need to provide my bank account information for "Tax purposes". They are using the New Hampshire Lottery's winners list to locate potential targets and phish.
