I received notice of winning Yahoo on line lottery from Europe. It has proper contact persons and use ING Bank as authorized bank. I'm wondering if this is true, legal, or a hoax. The problem ING Bank does not have proper English address in their web site.

Total hoax. Yahoo doesn't have a lottery.

I've gotten those too. It is a scam. Somewhere along the line they will ask you to send them money (for taxes, transfer fees, something) See http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/lottery.asp for more info

Mark it as spam and delete it. It's all a rip off. I received my first 360 spam today. Really ticked me off, now I am going to have to adjust my filters. And the 360 abuse form doesn't work.
