Default Email From Microsoft?

I received an email claiming to be from Microsoft Awards Center
saying that I won $2m.
There IS an attachment which I WILL NOT open.
Would it do any good to report this to someone and/or send it to an abuse center??
This email was filtered and placed in my Junk email folder by Windows Live Mail.

Thanks,
James
