Panania man won life altering $8 million Powerball jackpot

A lucky Panania man is still in shock after winning a life-changing Powerball jackpot worth $8 million in a recent Powerball drawing.

The winner is a Sydney resident who won only division one winning entry in Powerball draw 1374, drawn Thursday 15 September.

The winning ticket was purchased at Panania Stationers & Paper shop, 74 Anderson Avenue, Panania.

The lottery official talked to the winner and confirmed the win.

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

“Before speaking to you, I already called my dad to tell him – he’s frazzled too.

“I was about to go and have lunch, but now I don’t think I can eat anything. I’m too stunned!

“We’ll have to celebrate with a drink though!”

After recently becoming the region’s newest multi-millionaire, the car enthusiast said he’d use his prize to park his dream vintage vehicle in his new house.

“I love old cars, and I love fixing them!” he shared.

“I’ll look at purchasing a vintage car and upgrading the house. “It’s fantastic.”
