It is scam. Yahoo do not run a lottery, if they did you could guarantee it would be advertised all over their home page. Check out these links and search answers to see how many people 'win' the exact same lottery every day

Do not click on any links, the page you will be taken to will look authentic but is not
Do not send them a 'courier fee' or any other money
Do not hand over any bank details or passwords
Do report spam
Do delete
Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch. You cannot win a lottery if you havenot bought a ticket.
(I've answered this question so many times that I now keep this answer on my desktop and just copy and paste....that should give you a clue!)

question do you remember entering this lottery? NO?
do you have a ticket for this lottery NO
you will never see any winning from this lottery and you might
even ended up with a lower bank account balance as well
IF YOU take part in their scheme -which is really to DRAIN YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT
they will tell you; you need send them money for "taxes or delivery fees or etc)
