A Panania man’s life has turned completely upside down in the best way imaginable after he scanned his Powerball ticket at his local newsagency to discover he’s $8 million richer.

The South-Western Sydneysider held the only division one winning entry in Powerball draw 1374, drawn Thursday 15 September and took home a total division one prize of $8 million.

The winning entry was not registered to a player card, which means officials from The Lott had no way of notifying the ticketholder of his win and had to wait for him to check his ticket.

“I’m shocked, blown away,” he laughed when an official from The Lott confirmed his multi-million-dollar windfall last Friday. 

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money.
