Funny. I won that too. Yeah, if you get anything like that from a sweepstakes or something that you didn't consciously sign up for, just spam it. :)

This is a scam.
Yahoo (or Microsoft, or CNN, or any country) does not take random email addresses to give away money.
These kind of things are an attempt to either let you pay for special 'charges' before the money can be 'released to you' (if i had won so much, why not take it out of the winnings) or to get your personal information in order to commit identity theft.
Delete them, or report them as spam.
You can play around with them a little, if you have an email address you can abandon if needed, and answer them, and play along a bit. Can be fun to see how they twist and turn to please do send me money..
For examples on this - i have made a yahoo group.
