in short... THERE IS NO SUCH LOTTERY!! Not by Yahoo! Not by Hotmail, MSN or any other known site. It's a phishing scam hoping to find people foolish enough to fall for it and send the requested personal and banking information... and sometimes even money. You might even remember that you haven't purchased a lottery ticket f rom Yahoo or Hotmail, which of course wasn't possible since there are no such lotteries! It's a very common scam... DELETE IT!!
What is this???????? Your Mail Have Won Yahoo Hotmail And Aol Lottery Promotion2009!!!!?
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. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you'll never win because it's "bogus."
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.

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 where it belongs.
