Error message popped up scam or truth?

I was searching for some lyrics and this popped up. Of course it’s holiday weekend. So my question is is this a scam or does my iPad mini truly have a virus. Just before this it popped up with I won an amazon gift card I just clicked the x. To close it. Thanks for any help.
