We would like to inform you that if this value is not sent to this address, the prize will be withheld from you and given to another competitor
FreeBitco.in, 3rd Floor, J and C Building, PO Box 933, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands

I do not know if my email is being hacked or what but somehow they know that I am playing this lottery all the time. Just want to reconfirm again this

As the others have already said that is an obvious phishing attempt. It is easy to fake the sender's address on an email.
Anything that asks you to make a payment to claim your prize is a 419 advanced fee scam. We wouldn't send an email with such bad grammar. Is that BTC address your freebitco.in deposit address? Is there any mention of the alleged competition on the site or have I announced it here?
It isn't that you have been hacked but rather the scammers have probably purchased a list of email addresses associated with Bitcoin on the dark web and are phishing them.
