No, it's a phishing expedition.
You didn't receive an 'offering' you received a spam email. Anyone can get and use a free yahoo email address. And if you estimate the email really came from Yahoo, look around and see if you find ANYWHERE where on earth state they are giving away 500 dollars and describe the contest and the rules.
Yahoo! will never send out promotions or advertisement to their users by email, especially when it involves money. Yahoo! will never contact a user for personal information. Do not reply to the email. The best thing to do is report as spam. If the email originate from a yahoo account, Yahoo will cart appropriate actions if needed.
SCAM! Do not ever give out any personal info - you will regret it then.
