Global Citizen Lottery Scam
Very well formatted e-mail as an image probably hoping to get past spam filters, but still identified as spam. Comes from an Israeli e-mail address, possibly a free e-mail provider but you are asked to reply to an outlook account.

Notes: There is a Global Citizen website, they do make Global Citizen awards but the awards (prizes) include grants in the region of USD 10,000, not millions of dollars.
The Address: Madison Square Garden 5 Pennsylvania Plaza 23rd Floor New York NY 10001 is the address of the Regus Office rental organisation in New York city whilst the address: PO Box 3000 Boone, NC 28607 is the address for the Samaritan's Purse organisation. So both addresses are bogus for the "Global Citizens Compensations". The address for the genuine Global Citizen organisation is 740 Broadway, Suite 400, New York, NY, 10003.
