Man orphaned as a teen says parents are watching over him as he wins £1million on lottery

A man orphaned as a teenager said he feels his parents are watching over him after he scooped £1million on the lottery. Calum Forrington, 37, and his wife Kayleigh plan to splash the cash on a surprise trip to Disneyland for their three children.

They also plan to fund a course of driving lessons for Calum and a new set of wheels for Kayleigh. Calum tragically lost both his parents 18 years ago and has only recently been able to face visiting their grave. And he feels the big win is a continuation of a change in luck for the couple since they tidied his parents' grave up.

Calum, of Grimsby, Lincolnshire, said: “Losing my parents was obviously devastating for me and I could never face going to visit their grave until more recently, just before I married Kayleigh. We cleaned it all up and got it looking much better for them – since then, everything just seems to have fallen into place.
