Its a SCAM..
Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...
Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...
There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...
So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..
They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...
Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...

Absolutely not. This is a common variant on the famous "419 scam" or "advance fee fraud".
If you reply you'll be asked for a series of increasingly large "fees" to release the money until you give up.
In addition you'll be asked for lots of personal details and bank details, which will be used to help scam others.
Aren't you glad you asked?

It's a scam, period .You didn’t enter a lottery, and YAHOO isn’t running a lottery. All you are going to win is an empty bank account and more trouble than you ever dreamed of. Possibly a “courier” bill for a few thousand to “deliver” a “prize” you’ll never see.g. If you want to bother, forward the fraudulent email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, spam@uce.gov, and 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.

Good God! It's all a scam, you won nothing. Don't believe a word of it because it's not true. I get several of these things a day and it is just annoying after a while. They are looking for suckers who believe it and are greedy so they can rip them off. Delete the thing.
