Yes it's a scam.
If you are contacted about winning a lottery , lets say in the Netherlands then its probably a scam. No foreign country to my knowledge is allowed to operate a lottery in the USA. Our government will not allow it.
THIS IS A SCAM, Lotterys in Australia are run under licence in the states so the name Australian is unlikely to describe it.Google "Australian international lottery prize release centre" under Australian pages and you wil find numerous scam warnings about this. As a rule of thumb no one wins in a lotery they did not enter. But even more importantly no reputable organisation uses a Yahoo email acounts for contact.
Any time you are asked to pay a fee or taxes or service on a prize, know that it is a scam.
If they are asking you for money, yes!
no .of course not.
