Narrative:
While working sector 73; [an A320] reported to me that he hit a wake and got rocked around pretty bad. The aircraft rolled about 15-20 degrees. The pilot stated that he needed to report this; so; I gave him our facility watch desk's phone number and notified the controller in charge who notified the operations manager. The only other aircraft I can think of that caused this issue was B777 who was 15 miles in front of the [A320] at the same altitude.
