British man wins £1 million lottery prize using father's dates

Darren McGuire, a 46-year-old gas technician from Bolton, United Kingdom, has won a £1 million lottery prize. McGuire attributes his win to his late father, using significant dates related to him to select his numbers.

The winning combination was based on his father's birth date (22-03-48) and death date (21-09-11). McGuire also noted what he perceived as spiritual signs preceding the win, such as the sudden blooming of rosebushes in his garden that had not produced flowers in over four years.
