Google for "Spam and Phishing".
Thinking about it; if there was a Yahoo lottery, you would've had to pay for a ticket and it would have been advertised (Of which neither occurred).
Plus, if you won a lottery of that size, you would be on world record books. And you would've been contacted by the provider in more adequate ways than Email.
Sorry, but that's just a common spam.

Well, Irfan, did you enter that lottery, you know buy a ticket????? No??? You can not win something you did not enter or play. Besides Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, Microsoft, MSN and Aol do not have lotteries, reward programs, promotions, or contests.
When an E-mail offer sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely not true.
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.
For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya%E2%80%A6
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.

Absolutely any email you get like this is fake, almost everyone seems to be affected by them and for some reason there are always the gullible ones who fall for it and end up losing a lot of money. The chance of you receiving a genuine email relating to winning anything on some lottery youve never heard of is probably about a million to one, they are all scams.
