Answer 1

dump it scam scam scam. Yahoo has continually advised its users that it would NEVER ask for pesonal information such as Drivers license info or SS#.

Answer 2

This is a scam.

It prays on a human frailty of expecting something for nothing.

They will need from you a bank acoount number, and numbers associated with it, telling you here is where to deposit the money you have won, and they will want you to pay a tiny registration fee.

The next thing that will happen is they will clean out your bank account, the one you gave them, and they will also clean out any other accounts you have with that bank.

While you are in agony over what to do about that, they will be using your banking info to open mortgages etc. in your name, using them to buy sell million dollar property then disappear, leaving you to deal with the banks that want their millions of dollars back.

You can accept that they have tried to scam you, and you can help the Internet Police put these people in jail.

Here is a detailed explanation of the type of scam that this is and how to deal with it.
