Mystery Victorian winner claims $20 million Powerball prize

Victoria has gained another multi-millionaire with a mystery winner coming forward to claim their $20 million Powerball prize.

The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, took home the division one prize in full, halting The Lott's search for the winner of last week's draw.

The ticket was unregistered, so officials from The Lott could not contact the winner to break the life-changing news.
