FWIW, the lottery scam is also a variant of what’s known as a Pigeon drop

Pigeon drop is the name of a confidence trick in which a mark or “pigeon” is convinced to give up a sum of money in order to secure the rights to a larger sum of money, or more valuable object. In reality the scammers make off with the money and the mark is left with nothing.
