A Sydney tradesman has become a multi-millionaire overnight after winning a staggering $10 million in the latest Powerball draw. The lucky winner, who resides in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, was the sole holder of the division one winning ticket, claiming the entire prize.
Following his unexpected windfall, the man admitted to a restless night as he struggled to comprehend his newfound wealth. “I genuinely believed that when I woke up the next morning, it would turn out to be just a dream,” he remarked, expressing his disbelief.
The thrill of the win left him so overwhelmed that he experienced moments of trembling and even shed a few tears. Despite being sleep-deprived, he reported to work the next day, striving to maintain his routine in the wake of such a life-altering event.
With such a substantial sum at his disposal, the tradesman indicated plans to seek advice from a financial expert to ensure he makes prudent decisions moving forward. “I’m going to meet with a financial advisor to better organise my finances,” he stated. The win opens up new possibilities for him, including the potential to retire early and provide support to his family.
