The Force is strong with Jamaica resident W. Brown, who just won a whopping $95 million (Jamaican dollars, that is, which amounts to about $650,000 US dollars) in the lottery.
But here’s the real kicker: when going to pick up his prize, Brown decided to appear in Darth Vader cosplay. Yes, “Luke, I am your father” Darth Vader.
May the Millions be with you! 💰 Congrats to our #Lotto winner, W. Brown!!! Brown aka Darth Vader, purchased his lucky numbers 08, 09, 10, 19, 27 and 30 from Di Endz Sports Bar in May Pen, Clarendon.

Whether he did it for the laughs or because masks are a part of our daily wardrobe now, I am so here for him and his life choices. “I wrote down the numbers and saw that I won!” Brown told The Gleaner. “I was excited and said mi finally hol’ him now! I then had a shower and went to sleep.”
I mean, what else would you do after getting such amazing news?
With the amount of money Brown has won, he could literally buy all the Darth Vader/Star Wars memorabilia the world has to offer. Well, maybe not all, but you know what I mean.
As it turns out, this isn’t the first time a lottery winner in Jamaica has showed up in cosplay to retrieve their prize. Last year, someone showed up wearing the Scream mask. I have to admit, I’m loving the creativity here.
Congratulations to W. Brown for simultaneously winning the lottery and putting a smile on all of our faces during these difficult times!
