There is not an international lottery program because it is illegal to purchase a ticket, share, or chance in a foreign lottery. My own father has lost thousands of dollars by these schemes, and 'still' believes he is a winner as the mails told him. I've had to do a lot of research into these scams to try and convince him not to invest any more money into them, but to no avail. Now he's a missing homeless man who thinks the mailman stole his millions in checks. Anyway, I got off topic. It's illegal, as proven by the following page for the United States Postal Service.

They'll even ship you DVD's to help the addicted see the truth.

And one last link to the federal trade commission saying it's illegal as well. (to even participate)

Nope - just a scam email. Delete it without opening it, better yet send it on to Yahoo's spam team.
