Lottery Scam: European Union International Lottery

I'm getting pretty sick of these lottery scams filling up my spam folder. Boring! This one came from 213.47.195.38 (chello213047195038.tirol.surfer.at.; WHOIS: Chello Austria, Customers in Innsbruck) on Wed, 08 Jun 2005 13:45:45 -0000. The Austrian origin is a new one on me, but I still think it's boring.
