first off, like someone else said: the Swiss Lottery will have their own domain name. Secondly: if you have to pay money in order to receive money, you can bet your *ss that it's a scam.
Forward the e-mail to the abuse department of Yahoo, so they can cancel the involved account(s), note the IP address and (if plenty of complains arrive) blacklist that IP address so they won't be able to start a new e-mail address from that IP address again.

I think it is a fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to come from a genuine company operating on the internet, in an attempt to trick customers of that company into disclosing private information. BE careful don’t provide any banking information.

It's a SPAM SCAM, suggest you delete it straight away.
You sound like you may be interested in playing the Lotto online, if so please e-mail me and I will show you a GENUINE, PROVEN, NO SCAM way to play and earn an income from it.
I can,t tell you what it is right now, that would be advertising which is not allowed!
just contact me at jonboylotto@btinternet.com
This goes for anybody interested by the way.
(That wasn't advertising was it?)

Easy actually fully open the message and then right click on the message and look at the properties if the message says it is from barclays however when you look at the properties and it looks like http://www.bobspace.las;lf;lafja/barclays, then it is a safe bet that it is not from barclays

FAKE STAY AWAY, DO NOT REPLY, SPAM EMAIL.
