It sounds wonderful doesn't it but you have to ask yourself, "Did I enter this Lotto?" If the answer is, "No" you haven't won a brass razzoo!
This is a scam aimed at perhaps gaining your personal details or getting you to send money in order to clear the "funds" for sending to you - funds I might add you'll never see. Thousands of innocent people fall for these scams and make the perpetrators very rich. In Australia, these scams are illegal and people have done some serious jail time or copped whopping fines.
In short, don't fall for it, report the email and its sender to your country's equivilent of "Consumer Affairs" and then delete it. You may want to block the sender also otherwise you may get flooded with scam attempts.
There is an old saying: "If it sounds too good to be true; then it probably is."

Just ignore and delete it.
Hotmail accounts obviously receive more loto advertisements than yahoo.I have both yahoomail and hotmail and I can say that I never received any loto prie email from yahoo.Well done.
