Lotto Line - Possible scam letter received

On January 3rd, I received a letter from LOTTO LINE, which was addressed to PO Box 7660, Las Vegas, Nev., but it had a zip code that was in the eastern USA, of #30003-0047. It included a check for $4800 made out to me, but which carried a payor name of M.W. Glick, Inc, 12003 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, Md 21842, and the signature on the check did not reflect any of the above names. The name of the financial institution as printed on the check, was Peninsula Bank, Delray Beach, Florida. The check was dated the exact date I received it. The account number listed on the check was #"095149": 052101106: "0050312367"

The envelope had a stamp and postmark from Canada. The letter claimed that I had been awarded an amount of $75,000. It instructed me to telephone #1-778-317-3343. It was signed by a Mr. William Ellis, though the signature did not resemble that name. It claimed that an entity named "Prize America Financial" was "guaranteed safe and secure".

When I telephoned the above phone number, the person answering instructed me to deposit the check on January 8th, and then wait and call him on Wednesday. I said that I was "reluctant to deposit this check, " and he responded that if I didn't want to "play, " I did not have to, and hung up.

This appears to be a con/scam. Is there any legitimacy to it?
