There is NO Yahoo lottery! NEVER has been.

If you had googled yahoo lottery, you would have found that the 1st item, which is Yahoo Help, makes it very clear that this is a fraud. A very old fraud. How about you read it now:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/abuse/abuse-63.html

It also has a link to an Abuse Form to report this crime:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html

And there is a link to Yahoo’s Security Center where you can learn how to protect yourself online:

    No. Yahoo does not have a lottery. That is a scam.
    They will ask you to send money to them as a "fee" in order to get your "prize money", which never materialises.

    If it sounds too good to be true, then likely it is a scam.
