Answer 1

It's a scam.

Answer 2

Any email you get telling you that you have won a lottery prize are fake. They want you to send your personal details so they can steal your identity. It happens every day around the world. Go to a couple of the scam sites that are devoted to gathering info on these scams. Read some of the stories that people tell. If you were to really win something like that, then you would get a certified letter that you would have to sign for followed by a telephone call or even a visit from the prize distributors.

Answer 3

I'd ignore and delete this e-mail if I were you -- there is no such thing as a Yahoo lottery. You are the recipient of a scam e-mail -- they will ask you to pay them money as a "handling fee" for receiving a large prize that does not exist.
