London  - A homeless man is set to receive a reward for finding a wax likeness of Paul McCartney's head a week after it was lost on a train, according to The Sun in its Thursday edition.

According to the paper, Tony Silva, 45, discovered the likeness of the former Beatle at a train station west of London. Now he could receive a finder's fee of 2,000 pounds
(3,248 dollars).

"I feel like I've won the lottery," said Silva, who learned about the finder's fee from a newspaper he happened to be sleeping on.

According to the BBC, the head belongs to Joby Carter, an auctioneer. Carter had left the head on a train last week. It is expected to fetch more than 9,000 pounds in an auction.

The missing head comes from a figure made in 1960, which had been on display in the eastern English town of Great Yarmouth. (dpa)
