A JAMAICAN man who won £1million in the lottery picked up his massive cheque while wearing a mask from the horror movie Scream.
The winner apparently didn’t want anyone to know that he’d scooped the life-changing sum of cash.

The lucky man, who was only identified as A. Campbell, also wore a full coat, long trousers and gloves to conceal his identity.
Lotto winners in Jamaica often wear disguises due to the high crime in the country and to avoid harassment from scroungers, according to reports.
He actually won the Super Lotto prize – a lottery game which is run in several Caribbean islands – in November, but waited 54 days to collect the cheque.
MYSTERY WINNER
Mr Campbell spoke about the moment he realised he was a millionaire, reports the Jamaica Star.
He said: “Normally, I would write down the numbers from the (televised) draw, eat and then go and check my numbers.
“I looked at my ticket [that night] and ran into my bathroom and said: ‘I won, I won…,”
The lotto winner also discussed how he planned to spend the cash, adding: “I want to get a nice house. I haven’t found it yet, but I’ll be looking for one soon. I like to handle money. I don’t beg, I don’t borrow.

“So I’m looking at things that can turn over the money. I have a little business, so I plan to make it bigger, buy an apartment. I love to have money.”
Another Super Lotto winner wore an emoji mask to protect her identity when picking up a big cheque worth millions in June last year.
