'Tis a fine line between scam and spam and this one is pure vintage. I can remember such letters from RD as far back as the 70s...probably earlier.
It isn't quite as simple as it reads. To qualify for the draw it seems that one has to subscribe to the Readers Digest to be eligible to have a crack at the cash.
I know it isn't as crooked as a Nigerian scam which relies on people being greedy and gullible, but I bet it still sucks in plenty of people.

Maybe it is different in Australia but in the US you absolutely do not have to buy a subscription to enter a sweepstakes. The odds are millions to one though so it might as well be a scam. I have always wondered - do they put the entries in different piles so they make sure they draw the winner from a subscriber.
