I just received an email stating that I won,$2,000,000.00 as my email was picked from a yahoo lottery? Is this?

Yes this is spam, just delete it from. Your inbox whenever you get stuff like this

Yes that is a known scam.

Scam!!!!! That message is both a fake and an outright fraud. Don't contact the phishers and give them any of your personal information at all. If that involves money for insurance or fees, don't give them not one cent of it. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you'll never win because it's "bogus." You'll have to pay some money to play in the lottery. Another thing, the phishers telling you to "keep this lottery information confidential" would indicate to you not to say anything about this to anybody until they have finished scamming you. That means you will risk making the phishers rich at your own expense while you'll be left holding the bag in the end. Keep in mind companies such as Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, BMW, Coca Cola, Nokia, and others don't involve themselves in the lottery scams the phishers orchestrated. It's them who are using those companies' names as a front for their illegal activities.

Yahoo does not have lotteries and they do not give away cash prizes. Never have, never will. This is clearly a phishing email. There real intention is to steal your identity. Report it as Spam.
