Sounds like the PCH scam from Jamaica (876 area code). You can not win if you do not enter a contest ----and I will bet the caller would want you to pay upfront in order to receive your prize (also illegal in the USA!) that did not exist.
Imagine that! A Jamaican spoofing a 202 call now. Just when we think the Jamaicans are as dumb as they can get, they surprise us with even more inept stupidity. After what the Indians have done with the scam calls with spoofed 202 area codes, along come the Jamaicans to give it a shot!
The scammers just keep getting dumber!

DO NOT CALL THAT NUMBER BACK!
1) The call was from a scammer, trying to entice you to send money
2) If you return the call, it will cost you money! (Keep reading)
3) The 876 (Jamaica) prefix is VERY frequently used, and WILL cost you money if you call it back.
Some area codes are not toll-free numbers and calls from any other area code are billed at international long distance rates.
Some curious people return the call and will immediately be charged $19.95 for an international call fee and an additional $9-per-minute charge, according to a news release from the BBB.
Here is a list of some area codes that will be billed as international calls:
242- Bahamas 441 – Bermuda 784 – St. Vincent & Grenadines
246 – Barbados 473 – Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique 809, 829, 849 – Dominican Republic
