Default email scam ???

now ive never had any contact with them before and am far from interested any way , nor believe it to be the real deal
but if its not the real deal , then they are getting better at deceiving and this email sure doesnt smell of the usual scam (besides the big monetary win fall)

Of course it’s a scam. But the correct answer to Q3 is The Undertaker.

Look at the poor grammar and English used in the e-mail. That would be a big flag as to whether or not it's a scam.
Looking at the e-mail headers, what is the From address?

These are perhaps bait emails - used to see if your account is active?
