Allegedly "Clearing House Sweepstakes" contacted my elderly father that he won 2.5 million dollars. To claim it, all he had to do was go to Walgreens, get a number from them, buy a $400 gift card, and then go directly to the bank. First, he had one hour to call them back. They said he entered the contest 2 years ago.
I convinced him that if it were real, the "Sweepstakes" could send him a check! He didn't return the call.
