You won't; you have been scammed. No legitimate company EVER charges you a "processing" fee for a prize. If you sent a check you could further be ripped off by entity by forging checks/debits on your account and if by charge card, using your account number to charge items, or, the worst of all three, steal your identity which could leave you in financial ruin.
Would strongly recommend contacting the bank/credit card company that you used to pay the fee to close out that account and request a new one and to obtain a copy of your credit bureau report to see what companies have inquired about your history since the time you paid the fee or any credit cards or debts appear that are not yours.
The above poster responds with a blub about having a clean record w/BBB and a link to her site and the only reason that is because they have parent co., Global Domains International, Inc., has numeous a/k/a and d/b/a accounts that there are complaints against.

In general, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, and let they buyer beware and do research on anything before doling out any money for anything.

You just got scammed!
Did you enter a Yahoo! sweepstakes? If not, how could you win?
I haven't seen any Yahoo! ads for this. Did you?
And you never have to pay to receive your prize. Taxes or "fees" are your responsibility after the fact and/or can be take directly from the prize.
You'll never see that money. Be thankful it was only $8.75, some people have been taken for a whole lot more.

Most likely its a scam so stop falling prey to the scam artist.. You will give them your money in which you get nothing in return.
