did you buy a ticket?
If you have never bought a ticket from any company with that name, then it is most definately a scam.
If you bought a ticket, on the ticket there should be some email address or physical address to check to see who won.
If you get an email about a lottery that you never entered, you are being scammed.

Of course it's a scam.
Top tips for top scams:

its a scam. unless you have entered the lottery, how can you win. plus the lottery wont be emailing off a yahoo address. either ignore this message or email them back telling them to piss off. thats what i do.
