A warning from one a WITN viewer about a letter saying she'd won a huge amount of money.
She says she got a letter saying she'd won $2,536,092.23. The Research Intelligence Agency said she just needed to send $20 to process her claim.
Remember, you should never pay money in the form of fees or taxes to claim a prize.
