News from all over - Porirua
Not so long ago, in a galaxy not that far away, an unassuming Porirua man won $500,000 in Lotto - and drew up a strange shopping list. With his wife he ticked off the obvious - pay off the mortgage, buy a new car, travel overseas, give to charity - but with The Force clearly with him, he decided to treat himself.
Now, he is set to become a Star Wars Imperial Stormtrooper, a member of the Galactic Empire. "There are always things you think would be nice to have if you had the money," the winner told The Dominion Post. "It's a bit of fun. I just thought it would be kind of cool to have one of those. Why not? You've got to enjoy life."
While his wife doesn't know just yet, he plans to spend about $2400 on a suit with all the bells and whistles, and "all the stickers in place".
