yahoo doens't run a lottery. Its a scam. Any person who emails you and says " You have won so-and-so prize , send us (?) dollars and we'll send you your winnings" is running a scam. Lotteries don't contact YOU and tell you that you've won on a ticket that you never bought.and Yahoo doesn't run a lottery. Lotteries are always government run and controlled.

Hello, (ANS) My sincere advise from many years of dealing with spam & junk mail is DON'T waste your time. Why? because the vast majority of spam & junk mail comes from spoofed email address's or spoofed domain names. **If you wanted to try, you should open the emails headers & copy the headers. Next if you goto the "Spam Cop" website they used to have a free service where you could paste the header information into their parsing tool, this told you where it came from & if it was spam or junk or legitimate? http://www.spamcop.com **Most likely though it wont have come from a real address or domain. **Yahoo was probably used just to gain the recipients attention. **For sure its a scam, just bin or delete it & ignore anymore of the same.
