THIS IS PURELY 100% A SCAM.KINDLY IGNORE AND DELETE SUCH MAILS.IT IS A WAY TO EXTRACT MONEY FROM PEOPLE BY LURING THEM WITH FALSE OFFERS OF WINNING MONEY.DON'T REPLY TO SUCH E-MAILS AS THEY CAN CAUSE LOSSES TO YOU.DON'T SEND CREDIT CARD INFORMATION OR ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THEM.THEY'RE BASICALLY CRIMINALS AND FRAUDSTERS OUT TO FOOL INNOCENT PEOPLE.

It's a scam. If you respond, they'll say you have to pay the taxes up front, and then you have to send them money to get the money. If you didn't enter a lottery, you aren't winning money. And lotteries don't let you know if yo're the winner by email. I'd report it to Yahoo.
