If you have an unexpired immigrant visa dated before 23 April you may use it to enter the US, so yes (assuming you can get flights etc).

The ban only covered issuances of new visas, so I agree, you should be fine.

 

Good Luck!

I won in DV LOTTERY 2020 and received my visa on my passport and I'm outside USA now.

 

Can I travel to USA now or I am restricted due to the BAN announced on 23/april/2020 by Donald Trump? 

 

Please advise .

 

The ban was on the issuance of new visas not existing ones.

Please read the executive order. Many immigrant visa categories are not exempt from the ban, including DV. And yes of course it’s a green card ....but only once you get the visa and use it to enter the US.  
Again, OP and any other immigrant visa dated before the EO/ban is fine. (That is not an “exemption”, that is because the ban cannot be retroactive.)
