A lottery winner has said his jackpot prize was “predicted” by his mother-in-law in a prophetic dream in the days ahead of his big win.
James Kitch, from Canterbury, won the People’s Postcode Lottery - bagging him an incredible £333,333 in his bank account.
Once he managed to stomach hearing the amount of his winnings, the school teacher said to the People's Postcode Lottery's Matt Johnson: “You are kidding me. Is this real? You’re not like a bogus gasman that’s come round my house?"
Since, the 53-year-old has attributed his win to his mother-in-law’s mysterious dreams.
Dee, 67, claims she has woken up at 3.33am for the previous three nights before her son found out he had won.
James added: “My partner and I were sitting and she asked how much I thought I’d won.
“She asked me to give her a number and I said I thought it was going to have a three in it.
"She said that was really weird because her mum kept dreaming of threes.

"[So] it is just incredible. I think my mother-in-law and I might need an exorcism.”
Along with child counsellor and fiancée Donna Richardson, 49, the pair have already thought up plans to spend their winnings on trips abroad, including on holidays to Madeira and Disneyland Paris.
Living opposite the couple, Karen Cusden was grieving when she won the jackpot - just one day after her father’s funeral.
She said: “My dad passed away about four weeks ago. I think he has sent me this money. I know he has. I feel he has given me a little gift.”
Her husband Mark added: “She’s a great believer in that sort of thing. When the numbers were being churned over, he was there somewhere.”
Cusden added: “It feels surreal, to be honest. Since we got the phone call we’ve been in a bit of a daze.
“My dad did the Postcode Lottery since it started. He won the odd tenner, but he never won the big one.”
She said that he planned to visit her father's grave to lay some flowers down as well as “a little note thanking him”.
