Brisbane man to keep working after winning $60 million Powerball jackpot

A Brisbane man in disbelief after winning $60 million in Thursday night's Powerball draw.

After a few missed calls from officials at The Lott, the Queensland man in his 30s finally answered the phone to have it confirmed he was the only winner of the jackpot.

"I know you've confirmed it, but initially, when I saw this on The Lott app I thought this has to be a gee up or a glitch in the system. Surely I haven't just won $60 million," the man said, according to a press release from The Lott.

The $60 million winner said he would use his windfall to "buy my first house, help family and friends and have plenty of holidays".

"I still plan to turn up to work in 2022 too," he said.

"Mate, this is bloody unreal.

"I think anyone who gets hit with this info would think it's surreal. It's just unbelievable.

"There is a massive shock factor. You always daydream, but you never really expect it to happen. It's a lottery after all.

"For me, it's a lot to process. I just didn't really expect it."
