NO. I get those in my email account (not yahoo either) too. Fake. Did u ever sign up for a lottery?? Well then!

Answer 2

Sorry to have to tell you, but NO, that's not real.  It's a fake.  I've gotten at least 20 of them.  DO NOT REPLY TO IT.  Report it to: [e-mail]  and then  DELETE IT IMMEDIATLY.

Answer 3

No, it isn't true.  I won that same lottery a few months ago.  Thousands of people win it every week.  Yahoo! doesn't make enough money to be just giving out that many winners.

My suggestion is to delete it.

Answer 4

no its not

if its too good to sound true it usually isnt

Answer 5

It's a scam.  You're not the first person to ask this question today.  Just delete it, or report it as spam.

Answer 6

No, that stuff is junk and when you get that stuff in your email get rid of it. If you do not know who it is from do NOT open it! That stuff could have spyware or a virus attatched to it that could damage your computer.
