In my experience anything that sounds too good to be true, is in fact too good to be true - but the optimist in me would still follow it up!

I am 99% sure it is false. Expand the headers or right click on any URL within the message and you can find where it really came up. I am sure that Yahoo would do a promotional on their home page of any contests involving monetary rewards.
It is not safe to answer such emails. I did a search on the topic and nothing comes up except others inquiring about this.

I would classify this as fake... however you can persue this..
A HUGE sign that this is a scam is that when you click on any link it asks for a username.. password.. pin number or anything like that... as soon as you have to give any type of pasword x out of the window
also what is the email address of the sender?
if it isnt exactly yahoo it cant be them
