I just got a spam e-mail that quoted my home address in the subject line.  Its my ISP address and altho I get a lot of spam I don't join forums or generally buy anything using it.  I do use it for poker sites.  This happened to anyone else?  Any suggestions as to how I could find out how they got this info?

I got the same email telling me I had won $1500.  Like you, I was worried it had my home address.  Recently I have been getting a lot of spam mails mostly related to gambling.

The e-Mail says, via a graphic of a cheque, that you have won $1,500.

The text, further down, suggests the win is €500.

It would seem that a Poker Site has sold on it's Database.

It would not take many guesses to suss which Site, I imagine, but it was not blonde, please be assured.
