If the e-mail ends in "comcast.net" then of course its not yahoo sending it. DUH. If Yahoo did send you something the adress would end in yahoo.com. Also just becasue you see a bunch of random "confirmation" numbers in an e-mail dont believe its real. These numbers mean nothing & are only put there to trick silly folks with no common sence into thinking its a valid e-mail. More than likely this sender wants you're personal information (bank acount/ssn) to do you nothing but harm.

Any email from yahoo should be @yahoo.com at least.
I do believe it is fake, but if it does not require you to enter any personal information/takes you to a legitimate lottery website, you may want to check it out...

You have to BUY a ticket to enter a lottery.
If you didn't BUY a ticket, you haven't won anything.
So it's a scam...

no,not at all.
yahoo id's should be like (email id)@yahoo.com, (email id)@yahoo.co.in, (email id)@yahoo.co.uk, etc.
the pattern follows like this itself
somebody is trying to fool you.
