Frankly, I personally consider Freelotto to be a scam site. Assuming Freelotto actually sent you the emails. Their name has also been used by fake lottery scammers.

At any rate, I would delete any winning notifications you get that mention Freelotto. They are confirmed spammers, and their business practices are deceptive. Their entire purpose in sending you "winning notifications" (They only make it sound as though you might have won. If you read between the lines, you'll notice they don't actually say you HAVE won anything.) is to get you to sign up for their subscription F.A.S.T. service and pay a monthly fee for the privilege of "playing" an online "lottery". Technically, this is not a lottery, it is an online sweepstakes site. There is no confirmed evidence that I can find of anyone ever winning a prize worth getting excited over, and signing up will guarantee you receive dozens and dozens of emails from PlasmaNet. Unsubscribing has been described as being nearly impossible. There are also dozens of consumer complaints about them.

Freelotto has also been discussed in the following threads:

They are technically legal, but I would not personally call them a legitimate or trustworthy site. There's far too much evidence that they are only interested in taking your money and do not pay out promised large prizes.

Hello,

I have received MULTIPLE emails from this fruadulant company(FREELOTTO) and any research that I have done has varified that they are a scam operation.
Notice:
1. You never are given an actual email or person to contact.
2. If you contact them to verify or ask about you supposed winnings, you receive even more spam from them.
3. The address is a POSTBOX at Grand Central Station, not even an address. (What major company only has a postbox, in a public place?)
4.They don't actually say you win, and you are only given a pin number, which means nothing. Read the wording and you will notice that it says if this and if that, when. I erased it and can't remember the exact wording, but I had my brother, a corporate lawyer for a major international trading frim look at it and he confirmed this.
5. The very fact that we all seem to be lucky enough to win not one, not two, but often three prizes- $300, $10,000, and the wopper 1,000,000!

Unfortunately these people pray on folks hopes in an increasing climate of personal debt. I really feel for the poor soul who ends up putting even more debt on their credit card to play this SCAM LOTTERY.

Besides- why call it FREELOTTO if they require you to pay 9.95 USD or whatever it is to play! THAT'S NOT FREE!!!!!!!!!!

I for one, have wasted enough of my personal time investigating this fraudulant operation and I am only taking the time to write this to help others avoid the same. I really wish we could find the organizers and give them a public grilling.

I also wish the U.S. Government could crack down on such operations and charge and arrest them for fraud.

ADVICE: Don't reply. Erase the email and forget that it ever came to you. If you think about it even once more, they have one!
