Wezzie claimed that the psychic was given a list of numbers that represented important dates, such as birthdays, that his father allegedly wanted him to play.
Digital Desk: A 55-year-old man from Maryland, USA, won a $44,000 (almost Rs 33 lakh) lottery prize and attributed his late father's "advice" for the win.
According to a press release, the Washington County player, who goes by the pseudonym "Wezzie Brunswick," said a psychic told him his deceased father wanted him to buy Powerball and Mega Millions tickets.
"My father was an enthusiastic lottery player," he explained to Maryland Lottery.
Wezzie claimed that the psychic was given a list of numbers that represented important dates, such as birthdays, that his father allegedly wanted him to play.
When his father's "send down" digits proved ineffective, he decided to purchase Quick Pick tickets from a Brunswick store.
He chose random numbers on a ticket he bought for the November 18 drawing, and the majority of them were correct.
According to the statement, four of the five numbers he chose, as well as the MegaBall, ended up matching, earning him the Rs 33 lakh lottery jackpot.
According to People, Wezzie plans to set away some of his gains to fund his passion for automobile building, which he has done for the past 30 years.
However, the majority of the award money will be used to provide a stable future for his family.
"We've reached the stage in our lives when the kids' education loans have been paid off and we don't have a mortgage," Wezzie explained.
Earlier this year, a 68-year-old Maryland woman won a Rs 19.8 lakh lottery after using numbers her "sister saw in a dream".
She told lottery authorities that in her dream, her sister was riding a bus with the number "23815". The gamer subsequently purchased a 50-cent ticket from a Cockeysville store for a late July drawing with the numbers 2-3-8-1-5 and won the $25,000 jackpot.
