I just got an email "YAHOO WINDOWS ONLINE WINNERS". Does a Yahoo Lottery exist at all?

No. That's SPAM. You can use snopes.com to check these types of emails.

Shannon Said:

What do you think of this scam?

We Answered:

Why are you opening mail from people you do not know, Marc? Opening spam mail alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more.
When an E-mail offer sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely not true.
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.
For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya…
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
And for your E-mail safety, remember:
Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam.
Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you.
Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door.
And do not ever send money, checks or money orders to; or cash checks, money orders for any one - ever.

Victoria Said:

What do you think of this strange email? (Copyed and Pasted) No Links?

We Answered:

DO NOT give them any of your personal info!! They are obviously scammers, they will take your $300.00 and send you a fraudulent check in that winning amount... You will lose out on your hard earned $300 and what ever $ you spend out of that fraudulent check......
I would show this e-mail to your local bank A/S/A/P to help stop these thieves from stealing from anyone else...
I work at a bank and see all types of scenarios, I would even change your e-mail address.
Good Luck, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not real...
