"NATIONAL POSTCODE LOTERIJ AGENCY.VANM EEGENSTRAAT 70 AMSTERDAM" is the fake identity used by a gang of advance fee fraud ("419") scammers operating in the Netherlands. It's a fraud. (see one example scam email here). Victims are charged € 550 for a worthless fake certificate as well as various other fees. The non-existent prize is never paid out.
The real Dutch "Nationale Postcode Loterij N.V." explains on its website (postcodeloterij.nl):
Warning: fake e-mails Postcode LotteryThere are several other fake lotteries using the "POSTCODE LOTTERY" format. Legitimate lotteries do not award prizes by email address (you have to buy a ticket). Legitimate lotteries do not demand money from winners before they can get their prize. These are clear signs of fraud, as are "winning notfications" and "claims agents" using free webmail accounts such as go.com, netscape.net, yahoo.com, etc.
Please be careful with messages you have received from the Postcode Lottery telling you've won a prize, because it might be a hoax. Currently we are trying very hard to find out who is responsible for this. We would like to point out that any prizes you win in our lottery will automatically be transferred to your bank account. Any message you might receive telling you to take any action in order to obtain a prize is surely fake.
Send us replies by "claims agents", especially money demands and payment instructions, we will publish them here.
