The scam alleges 'This program is sponsored by NSW Lotteries to compensate faithful internet suffers around the globe'. NSW Lotteries does exist, but have not issued the winning notification - read what they have to say about lottery scams here. The 'authorised bank' is the same one as used in the Netherlands Website Internet Program scam (with the addition of a superfluous 'e'). Further correspondence with 'Walter Hawkins' will result in the victim receiving claim options and account options... which comprehensively explain why the payment of €464.92 upfront fees is necessary...

The claims procedure includes a small image of (presumably) a previous winner - although closer inspection reveals that he is a winner of the Pennsylvania Lottery... There is also an image purporting to be of 'Sir F J Walters' - however, he bears an uncanny likeness to Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar, the 2005-06 Rotary International President.
