This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet including the Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them:

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. Just 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.

these are some methods,techniques and websites to minimize the amount of spam messages you receive:

how to minimize the spam emails you receive:

-DO NOT OPEN the e-mails if you know they are spam by the title

-turn your spam filter to a higher level

spammers have scripts that make thousands and thousands of email addresses really quickly,they then send spam to them...they do not know if the email address exists or does not exit...until you reply or try to unsubscribe,by doing this you are verifying your email is active...they will place it on the special spamming list and sell it on to other spammers at a premium rate meaning you will get a lot more spam

And you wanted to share this wonderful message with the rest of us, right?!?!? LOL We've probably all gotten the same crap. And since there is no such thing as Yahoo Messenger Lottery blah blah blah, we've all won the same thing. More spam! Except many of us know better than to open email from someone we don't know. A simply click of the mouse on the spam button gets rid of it.
Spam and scam; fake and fraud. Ignore and delete.
