Um, this is most definitely a scam. Any prize that requires you to pay up front to win is a fraud. If you truly won that kind of amount, they would just take any fees out up front and send you a check for the rest.

Sounds like a scam to me. Why would you have to pay anything to get your winnings? If it were legit and those fees actually were applicable, why would they not just reduce your winnings by the amount of the fees?

No such thing. SPAM. Read the other few dozen questions about this specific version of the lottery scam that has been discussed ad nauseum.

You've won nothing. Yahoo! does not operate a lottery, and any organization which DOES does not inform winners via emails. This is a scam.
Do not reply and delete it.
