The fact is that Allen and Violet Large really did win millions in the lottery and gave it all away. The truth is whoever sent you this e-mail wasn't them; it was a crook. The first clue is that it came from an e-mail called info@yahoo.com. Seventy-five+ senior citizens aren't going to go by the e-mail handle "info". The second is that it came from Yahoo. Yahoo, in my experience, the biggest target of spammy hackers on earth. The third is that you don't know these people! They don't even call you by name!
Don't do it, delete now.
This might be one of the most despicable scams I've seen. The link at the bottom of the scam mail is legit. That is the only reason I left it active.

Phony E-mail Text;
Dear Sir/Madam
This is my seventh time of writing you this email. My
wife and I won a Jackpot Lottery of $11.2 million in July and have voluntarily
decided to donate the sum of $1,000,000.00 USD to you as part of our own
charity project to improve the lot of 5 lucky individuals all over the world.
If you have received this email then you are one of the
lucky recipients and all you have to do is get back with us so that we can send
your details to the payout bank.
You can verify this by visiting the web pages below.
Good Luck,
Allen & Violet Large.
