100% SCAM. Yahoo doesn't have lotteries or cash giveaways. If they did, you can be sure there would be a LOT of advertising for it all over the internet. Just delete that email, and any others like it that you are likely to get. DON'T click any links in it, and certainly DON'T reply to it.

Well, whoopie doo, and you thought we wanted to read all that crap? As though we haven't all gotten the same thing? This is spam. There is no such thing as a Yahoo lottery. Never has been. Never will be. Yahoo does not give away money.

Did you ever enter a lottery? of course it's invalid. There are a few going around. Buyer Beware

Definitely spam. The clues are: 1. Did you enter a sweepstakes/lottery? 2. The email is not addressed to you personally. 3. Excessive capitalization and incorrectly constructed sentences. 4. There is a mix up with the claim and to keep it private. 5. That 10% belongs to the promotions company. 6. Etc., etc. IF if sounds too good to be true - it is.
