Reply to the email with your full bank details, including all passwords and PIN numbers, and then sit back and watch the contents of your bank account get transferred to an anonymous account in Russia (or similar).
Also, expect a string of bills as someone on the other side of the world uses your credit cards etc to buy stuff.
Conversely, you could just delete the email and learn a couple of valuable lessons:-
[1] There's no such thing as a free lunch,
[2] If it seems to be too good to be true then it probably is,
[3] There is a sucker born every minute - don't let it be you.

I accept as true with the Texans and Packers. no longer the others. The Redskins? Danny Boy Snyder basically retains attempting to purchase a great Bowl each twelve months. Like a wannabe Jerry Jones. overlook them. The costs? good success with group killer T.O.. As a Dallas fan i understand of what I talk. And the Chiefs? they choose protection. They set an NFL checklist low with ten sacks final twelve months. Ten-all season! (Dallas had 2 8 sacks video games, by skill of assessment).

Yahoo does not run a lottery.
Why the hell would anyone just collect random e-mail addresses and send them money?
It is definitely a scam. They will try to get information to steal your identity (phishing scam) or try to get an advance fee to collect your winninigs (advance fee aka."419" scam). Avoid.

If you buy this scam you have probably already answered the Nigerian letter.
No. If you won a prize this big they would not notify you by e-mail. You would find a representative knocking at your door with TV cameras behind him.

Contact Yahoo and ask them.
Could be a phishing scam. Most probably if they want your bank details.

There have been many instances of this lately, but from my understanding, it is yet another scam, and should be promptly reported to Yahoo Admin. for scrutiny
