1, Yahoo Uk don't have such a prize
2, You can't win something you didn't enter.
3, There are a lot of 'lotto winner' email scams around, which ask the winner to either pay some money, or reveal their bank details so that the crooks can steal the money from your account.
Just delete the message, or if you wish, inform the police or trading standards.

You can't win a competition you haven't entered. These scammers get people to pay an "admin" fee. Then they ask for a "transfer fee" then something else. In the end you have paid out 1,000s and will never see a prize. It's just a scam.

In the past 3 months I have received around 40 of these emails.
They range from;
"My client has died in the 9/11 incident can you pretend to be his relative and we'll split the money" recieved 3 times, each time the amount increased.
"Im dying of cancer and my famaly wont do as I want with my money so if i send it to you can you distribute it to varous charatys, You can have a percentage" recieved 3 times.
"You have won an automated Euro Lottery, your email was picked out of 100,000 and you have won 500,000GBP" recieved around 5 times.
"You have won 250,000GBP from the UK National Lotto Draw" received this 5 times this week.
I have also received emails telling me I have been aproved for a loan of mortgage of 500,000GBP
Most of these emails had terrible spelling and all asked me to keep them secret to avoid double claims.
Each of them asks for my full name, partners name, email address, ticket number, postal address, telephone number and place of emplyment.
I have been on the Lotto website and they state that they do not tell you how much you have won in emails.
I have also replied to an email address for the solicitors company which bounced back.
I have not applied for a loan or mortgage for that amount.
I have never entered my email address into a lotto website so how would they pick mine out......I doubt there is a list of everyones email address as it would take a lifetime to go through them all...

sounds like a scam. Write to them and if they tell you you have to send a processing fee it is a scam. Go to en.wikipedia.org and look up 'advance fee fraud' for more info.
