Yes, it is a scam. I've had lots of these emails recently, just ignore them.
They're trying to get your credit card details. Just delete it.

Yes it is a scam. If you go to www.lawyer.com, you will see that it is just a site that contains links to other sites. Which means they don't really do anything but make money when you click on those links. If you won a yahoo lottery, you would probably contact someone at yahoo! Just delete the email!

Any such 'lottery' offer that wants you to pay to get your 'winnings' is a scam. Once you send the money, you'll never hear from them again; unless, of course, they think you're a big enough fool to send them another bundle 'for processing fees'.
Ask yourself, why would a Lottery Commission use a Yahoo address instead of a dot gov addy?
