Hi, Key word giveaway: Nigeria There has been so many Nigeria bank(ing) related scams!! Think about it...if they were giving 9 people 500,000 do you think they'd have to 'huddle' everyone to give them their prize? Hardly!! Legitimate lotteries don't require anything before you show up, and you will not have to 'travel' to get your winnings. There are people on the net advertising jobs with Google - nothing to do with 'Google' just as these people are trying to use the 'Yahoo' name therein to make it appear somewhat more official. Besides, anytime you receive info regarding something you didn't enter, bells should be ringing loud and clear. They pulled your name from the whole world?....yeah....ok.... aha.....aha

it's a scam don't reply and mark it as spam, don't give any of your info under no circumstance and be careful.
