Tassie man wins $30m lottery prize

A Tasmanian man has been confirmed as the winner of a $30 million Powerball prize, after buying a ticket at a Hobart outlet.

Five days after his lucky numbers came up, a Tasmanian man has stepped forward to claim a $30 million Powerball prize.

The winner, who wants to remain anonymous, bought his ticket for Thursday's draw at a suburban Hobart outlet and at first couldn't believe his luck.

"I checked the ticket online. Then I checked it again. Then I got my wife to check it. And checked it again, and again, and again to make sure," he said on Tuesday, adding that he usually registers his tickets but on this occasion bought a spur-of-the-moment entry.
