Lottery winner claims prize in Scream mask to hide identity

One man doesn't want anyone to know he's a new millionaire.

He won the Super Lotto in Jamaica and wore a mask, from the horror movie Scream to claim his $158.4 million check ($1.17 million US) prize.

The man, who simply identified himself as A. Campbell, waited 54 days to claim the ticket.

Lottery winners wearing masks to claim their prize has become a trend. Past Jamaican Super Lotto winners have worn emoji and animal masks.

That's not a mask he's just still in shock from winning

[johnwilliams]

I hundred percent don't blame him..

This isn’t just hilarious, but also very smart. Letting people know you’re a millionaire would make you a perfect magnet for terrible people. I would probably do something like this if I had to accept so much money.

[inspirationist]

Wow! Never thought of this and he started a really smart chain for future winners!

It doesn't take a rocket science knowing your life will automatically be in danger if spectators sees his true face. Perfect magnet for haters, muggers, and jealous brokeass murderers! His smart! If you ask me i would probably do the same!

[KKKkiri]

this is probably the best individual who understood the biggest danger if he revealed his identity. Now he can rest in peace that nobody's going to be bothering him, he won't lose his family, friends...he'S gonna be okay.

Plot twist: thats the actual killer from the movie scream and everyone in this video was later murdered.

[KRS]

I 100% support this. I would do the same if I was him.

PERFECT!!! very smart....doing it this way and you won't even have to hire an anonymous lawyer to go sign for you!!! you can keep all your money and not have to pay the lawyer!!! very very intelligent man!!!

[LatIenws]

I want to see people on cool costumes and cosplay from now on.

[mskiara]

He is wise, as I will do the same if I ever won that amount of money.

[Daiin]

In Jamaica specially that was very smart to do

[Jeffreya]

That's a huge amount. Be careful of those people, I'm talking about the taxman!

[kiawade]

That's the way to do it! I always said if I ever won millions of dollars in the lottery, I'd claim my winnings while wearing a disguise. I was just thinking a mask, or a wig and some sunglasses though. But dude went all out...that is, assuming it's a man...cause with that costume, you really never know. Congrats to the winner though - for his/her newfound fortune, and ingenious idea!

I’m a Scream Fan. He identified as Campbell as is Neve Campbell. Neve Campbell played Sydney Prescott in all four Scream movies.

Why at all do they even have to put him on social media

[Westsideth]

I wood move frum Jamaica afta dat...1 of dem people in tha pic gon tell who he is to sumbody.

[kingkongchief]

Jamaica🇯🇲 is a super dangerous country. I definitely don’t blame him for hiding his identity. I’d do the same thing.

[josecarranza]

If I win the lottery, I’ll wear the spider-man mask.
