Sorry but it's a scam the best thing you can do is pass it on to yahoo to investigate do not give out any information about yourself or bank

If you really thought this was a winning ticket to a lottery would you give out the serial numbers that validated the win ?
did you even check the sender : www.reedtribe.org
Do you think Yahoo would give out so much money without milking the publicity for all its worth. It would be plastered all over their sites.
Its junk, treat it as such.
now i know why we get many question each week asking "does Yahoo run a lottery."
and finally, if it was from Yahoo, i'm sure they would know how to spell.
sometimes you just have to think for a few seconds.........

This is a known phishing scam attempting to get you to give them all your personal info. It's not from Yahoo, just delete it and ignore it. Good luck and be careful.

You can forward it to Yahoo customer care if you want, but they get thousands. Its a scam. Don't reply - don't give them any details like your name, bank numbers etc.
Just delete it.

Those are fraud. Don't give out any information like Social Security Number or bank details.
