According to Calgary Herald, Morrill, who lives near Edmonton, drove the Alaska Highway last month to see 'the most famous person from that state (Alaska)'.

The newspaper said he reached the governor's picnic party in Wasilla July 24 and managed to push his way to the front of the receiving line, with his Xbox in hand.

He told Palin that he had travelled for three days to meet her, then asked her to autograph his Xbox as proof he had actually seen her, the newspaper said.

Morrill said Palin happily obliged and told him it was the 'most extravagant' item she had ever been asked to sign.

'It was one of the greatest thrills of my life to have watched this person on CNN, SNL, YouTube and then to see her right in front of me,' Morrill said.

He said, 'I then packed up my Xbox 360 and headed home.'

Both the originally signed Xbox and its replica have not received any bids yet on eBay.
