Can't close pop-up from "http://applestore.prize-station.com" Is this a scam or real offer?

The pop-up states " Congratulations! Your device was selected because we need more testers for the new iPhone 7. Press OK to participate and receive a free iPhone 6" There is no option to close the pop-up. Is this a real offer or a scam?

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.1.3

It's a scam. Turn on Airplane mode. Press the HOME button. Then double-press it and swipe up on the Safari screen image. Then go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data. You can then turn Airplane Mode off. And don't go back to the website where this happened.
