Melbourne Powerball players urged to check tickets after $20 million prize left unclaimed

Victorian Powerball players are being urged to check their tickets after it was revealed one lucky punter has won the entire division one prize of $20 million.

The only information lottery officials have is that the player bought an unregistered ticket at Doveton News and Lotto in Melbourne.

Powerball's draw 1280 was drawn last night, where the winning numbers were: 30, 20, 7, 3, 25, 21 and 31. The Powerball number was 2.

There is no current way for officials to contact an unregistered winner.

The owner of Doveton News and Lotto Prince Narula said he has been telling every customer he serves about the winning ticket.

"Wow, it is very exciting! We've been telling customers about the win all morning," Mr Narula said.

"We hope every person who checks their ticket is our winner, but so far no one has discovered the good news."

Under Victorian law, unclaimed lottery prizes never expire. After six months, the funds are transferred to the State Revenue Office.

Even then you must submit your original ticket with your name, postal address, phone number and email address clearly printed on the back of each ticket.

According to the Lott, the odds of winning Powerball with seven numbers and the Powerball are more than 134 million to one.
