    Yes – it’s a scam.
    MS do not operate lotteries.
    Redmond Way is not in London, either – it’s outside Seattle, USA
    mail.com is a freebie mail account – MS always use their own @microsoft.com mail accounts.

    You're welcome

    One other point - MS wouldn't use mobile telephone numbers for anything official :) (it's probably a 'burn phone' i.e.a PAYG one, bought under a fictitious name and/or address)
