Lynne Price, a 55-year-old and mother-of-three, received her cleared scan results moments before her husband David came home to announce they had won a million. Mr Price, who is 53-years-old, checked his ticket at work to discover the family had won a whopping £1m on the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker. The couple are from New Tredegar, South Wales (UK).
Mrs Price talks about their experience:
“I’d just read the letter saying I had the all clear when David came home from work to say we’d won the lottery,”
“I can’t tell you what I said, it’s too rude, but I was in total shock…shaking and totally lost for words which never happens. I went and had a bath for two hours and just lay there trying to take it all in.”
“The letter saying she had the all clear is worth more than a million to me.”
Mr Price bought two Euromillions tickets while buying a pint of milk from his local corner shop Bal’s Best-One Convenience Store in New Tredegar.
Mr Price said: “I went home to tell Lynne but she had some big news of her own. The letter saying she had the all clear is worth more than a million to me.”
Mrs Price is a laundry worker. She was sadly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. After having treatment, she underwent a scan in October 2019 which came back all-clear.
Luck runs within the family!
The couple revealed it is wasn’t the first big lottery win for their family, but the third! Firstly, they are distantly related to Ade Goodchild. She won £71m on EuroMillions in March. Additionally, David’s sister Judith was part of a Cardiff cigar factory syndicate that scooped a fortune back in the 90s.
