Default I won a Range Rover! Did anyone else?

I am a member here and at LRRForums.com and yesterday I got an email to: Undisclosed Recipients that says I have won 5000,000 GBP and a new Range Rover 2008! It goes on to list someone who is the Promotional co-ordinator and that I should contact themquickly to claim myprize. Oh and the email address for the sender is
jklabnik@iol.cz which I figure is some bogus address from Czechoslovakia.

So I am wondering if this is a typical random junk email orone directed at Land Rover owners andif they somehow fished the email addresses at oneof the forum websites.
Did anyone elseget this email solicitation? I'll post a picture of my new car when it is delivered! Here is the body of the email for your amusment:

Send Tony a pm so he can look into it. At first I thought you were kidding, because Tony got his wife an '06 MkIII for Christmas.
