The company I work for has offices in Norton Folgate and they certainly don't do lotteries. Neither do Yahoo
This is a scam

Sorry it is a con, you have been duped. Nobody wins anything for free in London. Be careful around Folgate street, that is the area of the notorius Jack the Ripper, who they never caught (mind you he would be over a hundred years old now and a bit slow to catch tourists.
Seriously though, sorry, these scams are everywhere

Absolutely not, there is no such lottery...you are being totally scammed. To win any lottery you have to by a ticket and pick the same numbers that get drawn when the draw takes place...anyway, Yahoo is based in America not in the UK...
Take a look here...

Just remember that if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is...

Please, please, PLEASE don't respond to this, or click on any links!!! It could crash your puter! I've gotten several similar ones, and the internet "federales" are all over this crap right now. Totally illegal, they're trying to either infect you, or some are identity theft. I found out FOR SURE, it's impossible to win a lottery by the drawing of your email, or even numbers, without paying for them first. It's also highly illegal and could get you busted big time if you participate. There's another form of this circulating now, too. They say something to the effect of wanting to hire you to launder or transfer funds, and will give you a huge percentage. Once again, bogus crapola! Paypal actually has a place on their site, to report fraud, if you'd like to. Stay safe! Don't click on anything! Peace.
