a couple of weeks ago i received an invite to participate in the lottery in belgium, paying ?5 for 5 entries and receiving 5 free, i didn't take up the chance of sending them ?5. now i have recieved an invite from prizemasters based in australia to join their lottery, at a cost of ?10. how much of a "con" is this? also, is it legal to enter the lottery in australia if you are not in that country?

ONLY ever play OVERSEAS LOTTERIES at Betting Shops, any other invitation is a scam!!!
Apart from Oirish Lottery, they do Hong Kong, and most European ones. I also think the NY Lottery is available, but hefty tax incursions should you win

The clue that it is a con is in the word 'LOTTERY'

Definitely a scam and it seems there are thousands of Gullible Fools residing in the UK who are falling for it hook,line & sinker
