A Jamaican man who won the lottery has collected the Jamaican $158.4 million prize (around $1.2 million in U.S. currency), wearing a rather unusual outfit. The man, known only as A Campbell, wore a Scream mask whilst collecting his winnings from the Supreme Ventures office.
It is thought the man concealed his identity to stop people learning of his windfall, and in a bid to avoid harassment. The man reportedly waited more than 50 days before coming forward to collect his prize.
Lottery winners collecting the cash wearing costumes has become a trend in the Caribbean country, local media reports. Winners fear they will be recognised and harassed in the streets if their identities are made public.
