Winner finally steps forward

ALMOST six months after their numbers came up in a $55 million lottery, the mystery winner has come forward with their ticket, bought in Melbourne.

Just days before the prize was due to be transferred to Victoria’s State Revenue Office, the lucky winner finally turned up yesterday.

“Exactly who the winner is, where they’ve been and what they plan to do with their multimillion-dollar payday will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous,” a statement from Powerball said.
