Accidentally Pocket 8 Ball After Last Object Ball

What happens if you accidentally pocket the 8 ball after pocketing your last object ball in the appropriate called pocket?

e.g. If you hit your last ball into the pocket and the cue ball rolls and hits the 8 ball into a pocket. Do you lose the game?

   Most rules say that you lose. However, in some cases, depending on where you play and what rules you are using, if you pocket your object ball first, then the 8 ball drops in after, it is treated as a scratch. That means the 8 ball comes back onto the table, and play passes to your opponent.
