This a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of several email scams including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scam 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.

Reply:NO!! IT'S NOT REAL! It's spam!! Don't answer it; DO NOT give ANY of your personal information to them - no S.S.#, no address, phone # - nothing! I get them alot and it's all spam! It's also a scam to get money! I almost got duped into believing that 'transfer money' crap because I was job hunting at the time when I saw a similar email in my 'inbox', so I answered it. I got checks for $6,000 that I had to cash, then I would keep 10%, then they would get the rest. They came from Turkey or somewhere over there, but don't believe it! It's all a scam - trust me! If something looks too good to be true, it usually is!
