Yahoo doesn't run a lottery its a scam mark it as spam, flag it and delete it. Oh and watch out for the classic bank of Africa scam it's doing the rounds again

Oh it is so very fake. Do not give any information to them They are phishing for personal stuff so they can steal your identity and your money. A friend of mine "applied" for financial aid on line but not through fafsa and they cleaned out her bank accounts. Be very careful. the providers of your service do not enter anyone in contests.

You need to drive over to Yahoo! to collect.
I believe that they are located in Santa Clara, CA.
I'll help you carry the money.
