Jamaican Lottery Winner Wears Emoji Mask to Collect Million-Dollar Check
A Jamaican lottery winner went all out to make sure no distant cousins bothered her as she collected her...($1.4 million US)-dollar check...wearing an emoji mask.
Identified only as N. Gray, the woman (said), I am elated, because I was drowning in debt. I started buying Super Lotto in January I want to clear my debt, invest...do some traveling...(and) construct a community center for the youths...so they can engage in something productive (like) information technology.
Jamaican lottery winners often wear disguises due to high crime rates...USA lotto winners have also begun to urge courts to allow them to conceal their identities as they collect their large payouts...

Well, I'm sure the money was actually transferred to her electronically, but I wouldn't blame the crime rates in Jamaica or any other country. When you're talking about this kind of money, you're in danger of being robbed by friends, relatives and thugs alike, LOL!

So 180 million Jamaican would be 1.5'ish million US
