A young western Sydney man has gone from "having little" to becoming "insanely rich" after winning $20 million in last night's Powerball draw.
Lottery officials confirmed the Liverpool man's win this morning.
He had the sole division one winning entry in last night's Powerball draw 1263, which means he scooped the entire prize.
He said he aimed to spoil himself "a little" with his newfound millions, but also said he had no immediate plans to quit his job.

"There's certainly a lot to think about. I want to save some for the future and invest some too," he said.
"I don't know what I will do with work. I could take it easy or work harder.
"But one thing is for sure, I will certainly be taking some time off to enjoy life as a multi-millionaire."
The ecstatic winner said he "can't wait" to share his cash with family and close friends.
"I can't wait to help my family. I want to buy my parents a house," he said.
"I can't travel at the moment, but as soon as I can, I will be straight on a plane to Las Vegas.
"There will be a few little splurges when I first get the money. I want to buy a ski boat and there will be a new car."
He said he was preparing to go to bed last night when he checked his account to see if he had won something after the Powerball numbers were drawn.
"My heart was racing. I was shaking. I had to call my mum because I was just in total shock. She checked for me as well, and that's when it started to feel real."
Last night's jackpot winner is the seventh Powerball winner of the year. The seven winners have taken home a combined total of $289,995,334.21.
The winning numbers in Powerball draw 1263 yesterday were 24, 3, 30, 19, 27, 9 and 35, while the Powerball number was 1.
