No.
Firstly, the Yahoo National Lottery doesn't exist. And even so, National Lottery don't email winners, if you've won, you contact them.
And with all due respect, the National Lottery aren't run out of a residential address in Plumstead.

You shouldn't open unsolicted email from unknown sources. Often what happens is that when you open up spam, it sends back a trigger to the originating source indicating that a valid email address has been found thus subjecting you to even more spam down the road. Even using the preview pane in email products sends web beacons back to spammers.( http://helpdesk.gwu.edu/mailfilter/spam.html )
However, in this case since you have already opened up this email which is a probably a variant of the 419 Nigerian phishing scheme, display all headers and send it to Fraud Watch International. The email address is in the link to the webpage below.

There are a couple Yahoo pages dedicated to the 419 Fraud

Most definitely a Scam, whats known as a hook, never open emails that are unsolicited. Not a very clever one though, if you don't know who its from or it doesn't look right just delete away.

these lottery letters are the latest type of scam, that phone number you posted is a uk mobile (cell) phone number, probably an untraceable pay as you go number. just delete the e mail and forget you ever saw it, thet is the safest thing to do
