If you do not participate in a lottery, you can not be a winner. Its as simple as that. The sender of the particular email must also have asked you to send some personal information like address, contact telephone number etc. Once you reply to such apparently innocuous solicitations, they will request for your bank account details to deposit your winning amount. If you furnish that as well, you will find yourself considerably poorer. One more thing, you may find more such mails coming your way. Mark all of them as spam. They are 100% fraud.

I think a more important question is, did you intend to participate in this lottery. If you did not consciously intend to participate in this lottery then odds are, it's a scam.
You can't win a contest you didn't knowingly enter. And, since when does Yahoo! have a lottery?

Its completely FRAUD.First they ask u to send your simple information then they told u that as ur the residence of other country they hve to do sme ligeal formalities for which you hve to pay & once these formalities are complited u will get ur money.When u procide them the money u wont find them again.In consumer court there are maximum no. of cases are regist. for these lotery people.So think before doing something.

Just curious. Where did you get this? An anonymous email?
Treat it as fraudulent. Many such scams come from Nigeria.
If you do'nt buy tickets, how could you win?

Oh, yeah, its the real thing. I've won that lottery several times already, just be quick with your bank account info so they can transfer the money quickly (out of your account).
