Scams, with winning scratchy!

Beware … another SCAM
My elderly father (93years) received a “register” letter, from Malaysia, it was addressed to him at his home address. His neighbour may have signed for it. He is currently in a nursing home. The letter with registered (??) on the front envelope held holiday brochures plus… 2 scratchies. One scratchy had “thank you” on it, the second scratchy had a win (yeah right) of $166,000 US dollars. My dad has not had any dealings with travel agencies for over 10 years, so warning bells were activated.
i googled —-Malaysia holiday brochure with scratchies - of course it has been reported in the past, although the holiday venue brochures are different each time.

Please be aware of the scratchy scams. Sounded too good to be true. I would like to get hold of the personal information sellers.
