Advice by Experts:

The Lottery winning offer received by you is a FRAUD mail. There is no such lottery nor any prize. Cyber criminals trap people by making them believe that they have won prize and will ask for several charges and fees to be transferred to their account. By the time a victim realizes the mistake, he would have lost lakhs.
The mail is sent by Nigerian Criminals who use English names and will also ask to contact fake RBI officer who in fact will be their paid agent in India.
Participation in international lotteries is banned by RBI as it’s illegal to participate in such overseas lotteries under the Foreign Exchange Management (Current Account Transactions) Rules, 2000. So there is no question of bringing winning amount to Indian banks. And RBI which has banned lottery participation can not be part to transfer of money!
The crooks may use RBI name to fool. But remember any RBI mail be from mail ID ending with @rbi.org.in only.
Its dangerous to send personal details, bank details, passport details, PAN etc to these criminals. They could misuse details by using the same to forge fake identity for themselves and using cheated user’s identity they will do criminal activities including taking SIM Cards, opening bank accounts, for stolen money, forging visa papers etc.
