The Balmain man held the only division one winning ticket in the Powerball draw last Thursday but confessed he was 'too busy' to check if he had won. 

It wasn't until Saturday morning that the Sydney-winner checked his ticket and saw he had won $4,645,700.55. 

'I checked my account on Friday morning but didn't look at my Powerball entry,' the man told The Lott.  

'I was actually in the process of purchasing a ticket into another draw! 

'It was only on Saturday that I noticed the win. My first reaction was utter disbelief. I had to sit down for a few minutes because I thought I was about to pass out from the excitement.'
