Does Yahoo really have an awards promo annually for Yahoo users organized by Yahoo %26amp; Window Live Awards Centre
located in 124 Stockport Road, Longsight, Manchester M60 2DB?
I just received an email saying that I won in a Yahoo Awards and Windows raffle draw GBP250,000.Is this true?
This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous 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.
