Scam if you answer the following will happen
1) You will be asked for an admin or processing fee
2) You will be asked for legal fees
3) You will be asked for your bank details and your bank will be cleared of money
4) You will be put on the "suckers list" and receive a whole lot more email offers.

Like the others said - its a scam, these things are never for real!
How many times have I (and probably everyone else on here) had the one about Bill Gates giving away his money if you forward the email?? Im mean what BS as if anyone would give away money like that!

You and the rest of Yahoo won that money sweetie. Check this link out http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=630... . Don't reply to the mail, ring any numbers on it (they will be premium rate) or click on any links as the pages they take you to will look legit but will actually be fake. Whatever you do please DON'T
Send any money
Give out any passwords
Give out any bank details.
DO make sure no one you know ever falls for one of these things, hopefully if enough people ignore the darned things they'll get bored and stop sending them out!
DO delete!

I have received two of these send them re-addressed to reportabuse@yahoo.com DO NOT give them your personal details . Was it Perry Martins.? The only reason they ask you not to divulge information is so they don't get into trouble.Yahoo do not run a lottery site . Go to The U.K. lottery web site.They have a message board running permanently.

It is definitely a SCAM.
Don't respond and report it to Yahoo. They will investigate.
