Yahoo! Lottery Results only gave the results.

http://lottery.yahoo.com/lottery/

The Lottery.Com web site has a place to input numbers, but the "won" prizes only works if a person brought the real tickets on the United States of America! Because the lottery analyses and the lucky numbers are just a virtual thing, not a service to buy tickets .

http://www.lottery.com/

In other words, it is just for FUN! No real prizes (unless if a person buy the real tickets) ...

For example, I could get numbers that WON almost every day on the New Jersey Pick-3 lottery. But just for fun, no real money ... Sure, the predictions would work for real play!!!

'Track your Lucky Numbers

Do you play the same numbers every week? Store them and you'll be able to see your personal results:'

http://www.lottery.com/tools.cfm

[I do not believe that their sent those (SPAM) electronic mails, probably it is some sort of SCAM using their names ...

After all, the sites seems to be very nice to use !!!]

"Is there a Yahoo! Lottery? Does Yahoo! Mail ever offer cash prizes?"

'No. There is no Yahoo! Lottery, and we would never send you information about a contest you never entered.'

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or...

By the way, be award about the persons that only copy and past texts and links from old posts. Try to find (passing the mouse trough) if the links are working links or just bad copied generic texts ...Vote with responsibility !!!

Answer 9

How can you win a lottery that you have not entered, take no notice it's a con.

Answer 10

This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet. There is also an online form for the reporting of such  - (with links for your own country.) This site also gives excellent advice on what steps you can take to achieve a spam free inbox :

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or...

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
