It's a scam, period .You didn’t enter a lottery, and YAHOO isn’t running a lottery. All you are going to win is an empty bank account and more trouble than you ever dreamed of. Possibly a “courier” bill for a few thousand to “deliver” a “prize” you’ll never see.g. If you want to bother, forward the fraudulent email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, spam@uce.gov, and 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.

Sonia, sorry but its a scam. I get loads of these every week. If you have no ticket I can assure you that you cannot win. I get stuff from Africa too saying I can be someones next of kin. Usually the amounts are about $15million. Sorry my dear but delete your email and DO NOT phone them.
