I received one this morning but having this happen to me several times I was aware that it might be a scam just by the e mail address of who sent it.

If you ever win anything and they ask you send to money IT'S A SCAM. BEWARE
They said I won $750,000.00 USD

"FARLEY, ALEX R" ..This is the person that sent me the e mail..the end is the give away it was sent from a school ..

I received the 1.5 million letter into one of my junk email accounts. That was the first clue.

Second -brevity.
Third -was, of course, 1.5 million simoleons.

Fourth -No account number anywhere or identifier to be found?!?!

Fifth - 2018 award for what? Beer drinking? Now that I would believe.
No formal MS letterhead, and the list goes on.

Look for little mistakes, spelling, punctuation. The average Josephine or Joe, should be able to spot a fraud in Short order.

Delete it, then take a few seconds to fantasize about what you would have done with all that dough, then get on with life.
