A Hastings man has scooped $11,000 for his superb celebrity sleuthing on the Coast radio station's Coast Stars competition.
Local builder Brendon Ray was given the good news after ringing in to correctly identify the mystery stars in the station's long-running quiz.
After host Lorna Subritzky told him his guess of actor John Lithgow was correct, Ray said the big win came as a "shock".
"It didn't sink in for a while and I didn't quite know what to do - sit down or stay standing but I couldn't stay still really," he said.
"I was just in another world."
