Success is fascinating, and sometimes it is not everybody who fraternises with you during your good times that has your interest at heart.
Lottery winner turns up in mask to avoid being recognised by money-thirsty relatives

A Jamaican man who won a gargantuan lottery sought to devise every possible means to avoid being recognised by relatives who might be interested in the jackpot.

First of all, instead of going to the nation's Super Lotto with alacrity to claim his $158.4 million ($1.17 million US) prize, the man identified only as A. Campbell chose to wait for 54 days.

As if that was not enough, when he finally decided to go for his money, Campbell wore a mask, all in a bid to evade his relatives.

He reportedly won the lottery in November last year, but he pretended that nothing was at stake until now.

Asked how his win came about, Campbell is quoted as saying: "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!'

If it were you who won that huge lottery what would prioritise using the money for?

"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," Campbell added.

According to reports, the penchant of relatives to pester him for help was not the only reason he wore mask to disguise his identity, but also the high levels of crime in Jamaica.
