Yep. There's nothing like winning a half a million from something you have never participated in. So this is a scam. What do you think they are trying to achieve?
Most lottery scams are "advance fee fraud". They promise you lots of money, but you have to pay them something up front to get it. After you pay them, they break their promise. I've also heard of cases where you have to pay some kind of fee up front, and then you are given counterfiet cash. Lastly, it's possible that they are just fishing for personal details: they could ask you to fill out a "claim form" with sufficient detail that they could engage in identity theft.
