an anonymous user from: Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

I received an sms yesterday, 01 May 2019 from Fred Wales instructing me to claim R800,000. I asked the person how did they get my contact number.
His response: The on-line UK Promotion held in United kingdom. Your cell number was attached to the world wide web computer. He said I should claim
ticket number: 50027310037
Reference number: 77340824
Serial number: 4822410
Etc etc.
What bothered me is when they said in their email, shouldn't inform the third party until I get my funds.
Is it a scam or a real deal

I got an SMS from the person called Fred Wales saying I have won 80O 000 that I should email him to claim.
He replied and said Mr Craig Adamson will send me a form that requires my personal information and I became suspicious and started to google aoknorth bank in London and I couldn't find such a person.
So what must I do because I need that money?
