And No I Did Not Enter This Contest.

It's a scam. If you'd ever been to Longsight you'd spot it!
By the way Longsight is in Manchester not London (Hence the M60 postcode)

I might actually visit that address and see what it is.

Definitely a scam. If yahoo was collecting email addresses for a lottery I would think it would be listed on the yahoo website somewhere. Besides, you never want to send anyone a copy of a passport or other legal ID unless you are sure you know who you are dealing with.

It's a scam. One thing that gives it away is the @hotmail email address. Don't you think that a company who can give away 9,00,000,00 would have enough money to set up their own website?

SCAM SCAM SCAM SSCAM SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
